Methods of Payment

The sooner you sign up the better! The payment plan will be open at the start of the registration period and throughout the term. Your total charges will be divided into multiple payments and the number is dependent on when you sign up for the plan. The longer you wait the larger your payments will be and a down payment will be required. 

Be sure to check your account online throughout the term to ensure your payments are correctly posted to your student account. If your financial aid is delayed for any reason, sign up for the payment plan to avoid financial holds, late fees, and potential collection action. Any amount your financial aid pays above what you owe will be refunded.

Simple Steps to Enroll in Payment Plan or Make One-Time Payments

• Go to www.rrcc.edu
• Log into your student account in "the Rock" portal • Select the Student Account tab
• Under Payment Options
• Create and Manage your NBS Payment Plan
• NBS Payment Plan
• Follow the instructions to set up the payment plan

NOTE: 

Another person, such as a parent, may make your payment plan. But, you must first invite them to be an "Authorized Payer" on your account. Click on the "Want to designate another payer?" button from the payment plan set up screen, then complete the steps described.

All down payments and enrollments fees are processed immediately!

Unless you are on a payment plan through Nelnet, expecting financial aid or a third party sponsor to pay your total balance payment in full is due.

You can view your balance due, payments made, increases or decreases to your tuition and fee amounts, and other account information.    Once you have your account set up, you can access it anytime by following the same steps you used to sign up for a payment plan via the Rock. Once you’ve logged in, you can access the following tools: 

• If someone will be paying tuition and fees on your behalf, you can now add an “Authorized Party” to your account.
• If you would like to make a payment towards your tuition and fees in addition to your scheduled payment, you can do so by using the “Make a Payment” option of your NBS account. This payment will reduce your next scheduled payment by that amount.
• If your account is NOT in good standing, a hold will be placed on your account that cannot be removed until the account is brought to current or until the balance due has been paid in full.
• If your payment plan is terminated due to non-sufficient funds or non-payment, you may be subject to additional fees.

Each term the official due date is listed in the academic calendar. Payment in full or approved alternative payment arrangements such as the payment plan, financial aid or third-party sponsor (VA, company or high school) need to be in place by the official due date. 

• If registration occurs before the full-term drop date, payment is due by the full-term drop date regardless of when the class starts.
• If registration occurs after the first official due date, payment is due in full by the fifth of the following month.

• All accounts not paid in full by the due date are subject to late fees. Late fees are based on when you register, not when the class starts.
• If you do not complete the payment plan you sign up for, it is your responsibility to finish paying your account in full either online or at the Cashier's Office by the last day of the term.
• If you fail to pay your account in full, any subsequent registrations will be dropped.
• All accounts not paid in full by the last day of the term are subject to collection action. 

If you are utilizing 529 funds, please ensure you request your funds early enough so the payment can be applied to your account before the due date. Payment due dates can be found on the Red Rocks Academic calendar.

Accounts not paid by the due date are considered late and are subject to late fees. 

Send your 529 payments to:

Red Rocks Community College
Cashier’s Office, Box 2
13300 W. 6th Ave.
Lakewood, CO 80228-1255

Make sure you put your student ID number on the check.
