When Are the Tuition and Fees Due?
Tuition and fees are due at the time of registering for classes. Students have the option of paying in full or signing up for a deferred payment plan through FACTS Tuition Management (Nelnet Business Solutions). Failure to pay tuition and fees or signing up for a deferred payment plan will result in the automatic cancellation of the student's registration.  Please go to the Payment Options page for information on FACTS.
Outstanding Accounts
All previous financial obligations must be cleared at the time of registration. No students shall enroll until such obligations are paid in full or satisfactory arrangements have been approved. Grades, transcripts, clearance for registration and graduation will be held on all students with outstanding accounts in any department of the College until the account is settled and a clearance forwarded to the Records Office.
Chargeback
Spoon River College policies regarding chargeback for in-district students are as follows:
  1. Any in-district students beginning a college program offered by Spoon River College must attend Spoon River or pay out-of-district expenses at another college.
  2. Any in-district students wishing to enroll in a program not offered by Spoon River College may apply for a chargeback from SRC to attend the community college of their choice. If the student's chargeback request is approved, the student will then be responsible for paying only the in-district tuition and fees of that community college. Chargeback is awarded only for programs and not for individual courses.
  3. All applications for a chargeback must be received by Spoon River College on or before 30 calendar days prior to registration for each term for which the student seeks to enroll. For further information, contact: Office of the Vice President of Instruction and Student Services, 23235 N. Co. 22, Canton, IL 61520. (309) 649-6251, email: chargebacks@src.edu.

Illinois residents, living outside the SRC District, who wish to enroll in a program offered by SRC may be eligible for a chargeback from their local community college district if the offering is not available in their district. Applications must be submitted to the local community college 30 days in advance of the term for which the student seeks to enroll. If the chargeback request is approved, the student will be responsible for paying only the in-district tuition/fees rate to attend Spoon River College.

Out-of-district students who apply for chargeback and are denied by their home district, or out-of-district students whom SRC believes are not eligible for chargeback, may enroll in SRC classes by paying the rate approved for out-of-district students.
