Students Can Now Pay On Line

    Students can now pay their outstanding balances to the college with a credit card over the web.

     The new feature has been added to the Blinn Online Registration and Information System to allow this convenience.

     "With more than 70 percent of our students taking advantage of registering for courses via the web, we wanted to offer those same students the chance to make their payments using that system," said John Robertson, vice president of business services. "Prior to this feature, students wishing to make payment without making a trip to campus had to use the telephone registration system and enter their credit card information, or they had to send in a check to the business office."

     The college enlisted the services of infiNET, a company that has assisted other schools with integrating the payment process in a secure manner over the web. There is no cost to the student to use this service.

     "This feature is a natural extension of Blinn's technology improvement with the student in mind," said Robertson. "Our students expect to have web-based services and the college will continue to improve its e-commerce technology."

     Blinn first implemented the online registration system, known by the acronym BORIS, in 1999.
