Payment Methods
Payment by Card
Students can pay tuition and fees, new student application fees, graduation application fees, commencement fees, and delinquent accounts online through the student portal with a Visa, MasterCard, Discover, or American Express card.
Payment by Check or Money Order
Personal checks and money orders will be accepted for the payment of tuition, fees, and other expenses. Checks must have full name and address printed on the check, driver's license and state of issuance of the person who signed the check, home and work phone number, student's name and ID number, Checks or money orders can be dropped off at the Financial Services office on the West Campus or mailed to:
PHSC Financial Services Office
Attn: Accounting Specialist
10230 Ridge Road

If a check is returned by the College's bank for nonpayment, the following actions will occur:
- If classes have not started, students will be dropped from their classes.
- After classes have begun, restrictions will be placed on students' file.
If students have two or more personal checks returned to the College by the bank due to nonpayment (NSF, account closed, etc.) any subsequent payments to the College must be made by cash, cashier's check, money order, or credit card. In addition, students' check writing privileges to the College will be revoked for a period of five years. Any unpaid check is classified as a delinquent financial obligation. Unpaid, returned checks will be sent to either the State Attorney's office of the College's collection agency for further attempts at collection. A service fee in accordance with Florida Statute 832.08 will be charged on all returned checks and students also may be liable for any collection fees.
Payment by Third Party Sponsors
If employers or other agencies are paying for students' tuition and fees through direct payment to the College, students should upload original letters of authorization signed by third party sponsors to the online student portal. PHSC will not accept letters of authorization that are contingent upon students achieving a passing grade or completing courses. Also, PHSC will not accept letters that state that the employees will be reimbursed for their fees. Any fees that remain unpaid by third-party sponsors will be the students' responsibility and will be subject to the restrictions and collection practices described below if not paid in a timely manner.
Payment by Financial Aid
Student fees also may be paid by financial aid funds for those students who are eligible to receive such funds. Please see the Financial Aid and Scholarships section for additional information.
