Baker College offers past due payment plan options to help you get back on track. These plans are designed to make paying off your balance more manageable so you can continue moving forward with your education.
You can choose from three different past due payment plans, each offering a different number of monthly installments, depending on what works best for your situation.
Regular Past Due Payment Plan
This plan splits your balance into 4 monthly payments. If you enroll in this plan, you can continue registering for future classes while you pay off what you owe.
Example: Regular Past Due Payment Plan:
Tuition Balance: $6,750.00
Payment Plan Enrollment: July 5th
Payment Installments:
The payment due date depends on the date of enrollment in the plan.
- 08/05: $1,687.50
- 09/05: $1,687.50
- 10/05: $1,687.50
- 11/05: $1,687.50
Enrollment Begins:

Fall Semester: October 15th

When you sign up for this payment plan, you'll be charged a $35 enrollment fee. This fee is non-refundable and is collected by Illumia, who administers the payment plan.
You’re responsible for understanding the payment plan terms before you enroll. If you don’t meet those terms, Illumia may charge late fees, and you may be withdrawn from the payment plan.

Important Information:
If you are already enrolled in a Standard Semester Payment Plan for a balance, please do not enroll in a Past Due Payment plan for that same balance, without first withdrawing from the Standard Semester Payment Plan. If you remain enrolled in the Standard Semester Payment Plan you will still be expected to meet the terms of the Standard Semester Payment Plan while also meeting the terms of the newly enrolled Past Due Payment Plan.
Extended Past Due Payment Plans
These plans give you more time by offering 8‑month or 12‑month payment options. Because the monthly payments are smaller, you cannot register for new classes until your balance is fully paid.
Example: 8 Month Extended Past Due Payment Plan:
Tuition Balance: $6,750.00
Payment Plan Enrollment: July 20th

The payment due date depends on the date of enrollment in the plan.
