DelVal works with TouchNet Information Systems, Inc. to offer you a monthly online payment plan.

How many payment plans are there?

DelVal offers a total of up to 10 payments for the academic year. You must enroll in each term separately.

  • Payment plan for the fall term of up to 5 payments
  • Payment plan for the spring term of up to 5 payments
  • The number of total payments for each term is dependent on when you enroll in each term's payment plan
  • No payment overlap for the fall and spring term payment plans
How much does it cost to start the plan?
  • $100 for each term, plus the down payment (1st payment) which will be automatically withdrawn/charged at the time of enrollment using the banking or credit card information that you will provide during the enrollment process.
  • The enrollment fee is nonrefundable.

When does TouchNet withdraw the money from my account?

The down payment and enrollment fee are automatically withdrawn or charged when you click on the Continue button after you click I agree to the above terms and conditions. Monthly payments are automatically withdrawn or charged on the 15th of each month as detailed in your payment plan agreement. Payment due dates cannot be changed. Please note that if the enrollment fee, down payment, or any subsequent payment is returned for any reason, and the payment is not replaced within 5 business days, the payment plan will be terminated. You will have to enroll in a new plan with a new enrollment fee under the term available at that time if any, and you will be charged a $50 returned payment fee by DelVal.

When will the payment show in my bank account?

Though the student's account is updated immediately, it may take 1 to 3 business days for the funds to be withdrawn from your bank account or charged to your credit card. You should still make sure the funds are in the account on the due date.

When can I enroll?

TouchNet Automatic Payment Plan Terms

The Fall Plan will open on July 1. The $100 enrollment fee and down payment (1st payment) are automatically withdrawn when you enroll in the payment plan.

When is the payment plan available?

We determine the availability of the payment plans. We may choose to close it down during specific times and dates during registration.

What amount should my payment plan be?

The system will automatically calculate the term balance and payment schedule. The plan will adjust to changes in the term balance and an automatic email notification of the change will be sent to the plan enrollee.

What happens if my payment is returned?

When a payment plan payment is returned for any reason, DelVal will charge a $50 fee to the student account, place a hold, and terminate the payment plan if the payment is not replaced within 5 business days. If the student is registered for a future term, a failed payment plan may also result in the loss of future academic registration.
