Payment and Account Services - Snead State Community College

The Snead State Community College Business Office manages payment and account services for students. For any questions about the following services, please contact the Business Office via email at BusinessOffice@snead.edu. Please include your student number (A number) in your emails.

All student account balances must be paid in full or enroll in a payment plan by the last day to add/drop a class. If payment isn’t made the student will be dropped for non-payment according to the dates on the academic calendar.

Any unpaid balances will prevent students from enrolling at Snead State and student accounts will be referred to a collection agency. Snead State Community College utilizes the services of TransWorld Systems and Conserve for collection of delinquent debt.

Making a Credit Card Payment

Credit card payments may be made through mySnead. Snead State accepts Visa, MasterCard, and Discover Card. When accessing the payment portal, we recommend students DO NOT use the Safari web browser since it does not work with the payment portal.

To make a payment with a debit/credit card, please follow the steps below:

Go to www.snead.edu.
Go to the student panel to the left (graduate icon) and select mySnead.
Click on the button labeled “mySnead Login.”
Your username is your Snead State email that uses your personal student number (A#@alabama.edu). Your password is the password you created when you claimed your alabama.edu email. If you have not claimed your free A#@alabama.edu student email, follow this link for instructions on claiming your alabama.edu credentials: https://experience.elluciancloud.com/scc205.
Find the card labeled “Student Services Links” and click the link for “Pay Tuition/Fees (TouchNet).”
Choose “Make a Payment.”
Complete all of the steps which include providing your debit/credit card information.

Refunds

Refunds are issued by the Business Office via check, direct deposit (eRefund), or credit/debit card. Snead State does not give cash refunds. For any payment made by check or credit/debit card the student must wait 2 weeks for the payment to clear before a refund is issued.

Checks: Refund checks are mailed to the student’s mailing address on file. Student refund checks expire after 90 days. If a student refund check expires, the College will attempt to get the funds to the student. If the College is unable to get the funds to the student, the College may forward the funds to the State of Alabama Department of the Treasury Unclaimed Property. If the funds are financial aid, the funds may be returned to the financial aid source.

Credit/Debit Card: All credit/debit card refunds are issued to the card used for payment. Once the refund is processed, it takes 3-5 business days to show in your account. There is no processing fee.

Direct Deposit (eRefund): There’s no fee for this service. Once the refund is processed, it takes 3-5 business days to show in your bank account. The bank account must be in the student’s name and match the name the college has on file for the refund to process successfully.

To set up your eRefund profile, complete the following steps:

Go to snead.edu.

Payment Plans

Snead State offers a payment plan option that is available to all students. Any student with an outstanding balance is encouraged to sign up for the payment plan to prevent their class schedule from drop for non-payment. The drop for non-payment dates are detailed in the academic calendar.

Once a student registers for classes they can click on the payment plan option and complete the requirements. The down payment percentage, plan fees, and future payment due dates are detailed in the plan that the student agrees to. The payment plan will recalculated if classes are added or dropped during the add/drop period or for a complete withdrawal during the percent refund period. The payment plan is an automated process. The card that you set up on the payment plan is the card that the payment will be drafted from each month. You do not have to log in each month to make the payment.

All students are encouraged to sign up for the payment plan if they do not have enough aid to cover their charges. This includes students who have pending aid or delayed aid due to lack of required financial documents. Once aid is applied to a student’s account at a later date in the semester, if a refund is due to the student, it will be issued in a timely manner.

Student must pay their account balance in full by the end of the term, or they will be unable to register for any subsequent terms.

The payment plan is designed to give you flexibility in meeting your financial obligation to Snead State Community College. To access the payment plan, you must be registered for classes. Once you’ve logged into mySnead and registered, check under the registration tab, and choose to make a payment or Payment Plan. Then again choose payment plan. Complete each step, which includes providing your credit card information.

Payment plans are agreements with a third party, not Snead State. Payment plans will not show up on your student account until the next business day. Please plan timely to prevent your classes from being dropped. Drop dates are published in the College’s Academic Calendar.
