Are you a New Student?

If you are a brand new student, you can create an account to access online registration by completing an Online Personal Identification form and the immediate verification prompt that follows. Your AACC account name, ID number and instructions for setting up your password will be sent to the email provided in the Online Personal Identification form. Check your spam folder if you do not received the email within an hour.

Returning students can log into MyAACC, go to self services and then Continuing Education Students. Select My Profile and then Personal Profile to find your AACC ID number.

We recommend you discuss payment plan options and details with our staff to ensure you enroll in the correct plan. Instructional Support Center contact information is included above.

Enrollment/Availability and Requisites

You must enroll in a payment plan before you can register for the noncredit class. There is a $25 nonrefundable administrative fee for enrolling in the payment plan, so you should make sure the class you want is not full before you enroll. Use the course search to determine if a class is still available or contact the Instructional Support Center for assistance.

Some classes require you take another class at the same time (corequisite), successfully complete a different course or attend an orientation session before you can enroll in that course (perquisite). You must make sure that you have completed the appropriate requirements to be eligible to enroll in the class before completing a payment plan. These requirements will be included in the course descriptions found on the course search.

Start Date

The start date of your class(es) is important because students may not register for noncredit classes after the start date. You should not enroll in a payment plan if the current date is after the start date of any of the classes you would like included in your payment plan.

End Date

The end date of your payment plan must be at least one day before the end date of your class. The end date is the final payment in the plan you select in the Payment Schedule portion of the Nelnet payment plan creation process.

If you would like to set up your payment plan to cover the costs of multiple classes in the same term, you will need to use the earliest end date from any of the classes to determine your payment plan end date. Here is an example for your reference:

• To cover three classes in the fall term with end dates of Nov. 19, Oct. 16 and Dec. 14, the payment plan will need to end before the earliest end date of the three classes, which is Oct. 16.

Total Cost

Course costs are included in descriptions on the AACC course search. Those costs are for students with residency in Anne Arundel County. If you live out of county but still within Maryland, you will need to add an additional $10 per course to your total costs. If you live out of state, you will need to add an additional $25 per course to your total costs.

It is important to calculate your total costs correctly, so please contact the Instructional Support Center if you have questions or need assistance. If you set up your payment plan for less than the total cost of your class(es), you will have to pay the difference at the time of registration. If you set up your payment plan for more than the total cost of your class(es), you will not be issued a refund until your payments through Nelnet exceed your total costs for your class(es).

Review

Below is a checklist to complete before moving to the next step. You must answer yes to all questions to successfully create a payment plan. Additional details and instructions are included above along with contact information for the Instructional Support Center who can also help you answer these questions.

• Are seats still available in the section?
• Have you completed all requirements to enroll in the class?
• Is the start date for your class(es) after today?
  Note: if today is Friday or Saturday, your start date cannot be before Monday to allow time for our office to process your registration.
• Have you identified the earliest end date of the class(es) that will be included in your payment plan?
• Have you calculated the correct total cost for your class(es) including any out of county or out of state fees?

If you answered yes to all of these questions, you may proceed to the next step. If not, contact the Instructional Support Center to see if there is any other way we can assist you with your registration and payment.

Read through the step-by-step process here before proceeding to the Nelnet website:

1. Complete the checklist in the Review section of the previous step if you have not already.
2. Go to the Nelnet Payment Plan website for AACC.
3. Create a new account or log in to your existing Nelnet account.
4. Select the term from the drop-down list that matches the term in which you are registering and click “Set up a Payment Pan.”
5. Read the Welcome page information and click Begin.
6. Review your information and confirm who the student is for this payment plan (this requires your AACC student ID number); click next at the bottom of the screen.
7. Enter the total cost for your class(es) using the guidelines provided in the previous step; click next.
8. Payment plan options will be presented in groups based on their ending month; for example, “Payment Plan Ending in August.” Scroll to find the heading with the same month as the earliest end date of your class(es) you identified earlier.
9. Review the information under the Available Payment Days column; you will need to select a Payment Day that is at least one day before the earliest end date of your class(es). If you see a Payment Day that will end before your earliest end date, select that plan and click Next.
   Note: If there are no Payment Days listed that are before the earliest end date of your classes, you should select a payment plan ending in the month earlier (one heading above). If there are no payment plans ending a month earlier, we do not have a payment plan available that fits your needs. Please cancel out of the process and do not complete any additional steps.
10. Enter your credit card or other payment information for your payment plan and click Next.
11. On the Payment Schedule screen, select the Payment Day you identified earlier. Review the dates and payments listed to ensure the final payment is at least one day before the end date of your class. Then click Next.
12. Then review all of the details for your payment plan on the Review and Authorize screen. Once again, ensure the last date under the Future Payments Schedule falls before the end date of your class (or the earliest end date of your classes if the payment plan covers more than one class). After you have reviewed all of the details, click the checkbox to confirm you have reviewed and accept the terms and conditions and then click Authorize.
13. On the Thank You screen, scroll to the very bottom of the page and click the button to send a copy of your agreement to your email account. You will need to submit that with your registration form for us to be able to process it. You may also want to print the document for your records.

You should register for your class(es) with AACC as soon as you receive your payment plan confirmation. Our classes can fill quickly and you will not receive a refund for the $25 administrative fee if the class fills before your registration is processed.

To register, submit your payment plan agreement with your noncredit registration form following guidelines on the Noncredit Registration page. You will not be able to register online as our online system cannot currently accept payment plan information as a form of payment. Please use any of the other available methods to submit your registration form as soon as possible.
