Methods of Payments
IBCS accepts payment by personal check, bank check, money order, and credit/debit card. Students and parents are encouraged to make IBCS credit or debit card payments online through the IBCS student portal (Populi). Students and parents are also able to make a payment by clicking on the “PAY NOW” button above. Additionally, payments may be submitted in person at the Tri-City Baptist Church Welcome Center or the IBCS Billing Office. The IBCS Billing Office accepts payment by mail and credit or debit card payments by phone.
Billing Statements
Students can view their online billing statements at any time on the financial tab of their student portal. It is critical that students remain current in their financial commitments to IBCS. Students are encouraged to communicate with the IBCS Billing Office regarding any payment questions.
Financial Holds
If a student has an outstanding balance on his or her IBCS student account, then the Billing Office will place a Financial Hold on the account. Consequently, students may not enroll in future semesters while a Financial Hold is active. In addition, a student’s account must be paid in full in order for IBCS to issue an official transcript or diploma.
