General Information

  • For a step-by-step sample of what setting up the payment plan looks like visit our preview page.
  • Fall and Spring plans are set up individually.
  • Payments are AUTOMATICALLY deducted from your bank account or credit card each month.
  • If your first payment does not process, due to incorrect bank information or a declined credit card, your plan will be canceled.
  • If subsequent payments are not processed, bank debits will be resubmitted and credit card charges will be reattempted. If a second failure occurs, JMU has the right to terminate your contract and the budget balance will be posted to the student account for immediate resolution.
  • You can increase your semester budget at any time by calling FACTS (800/609-8056). To decrease your semester budget, a JMU customer service rep will make the adjustment with FACTS.
