If your PACT student plans to attend an out-of-state college or university, you must notify the College Savings Programs Division in writing 60 days in advance of attendance. After your written attendance notification is received, a letter will be sent to the college or university. This letter contains billing instructions and the amount that will be paid by PACT on your behalf. During registration each quarter or semester, you should contact the billing office to establish invoicing for PACT. If the college has not received this information when you register, please have someone call our office at (866) 898-0941.

You are responsible for having the college bill PACT. You must send written notification to PACT if you transfer to another private or out-of-state college or university. PACT will pay the college directly after receipt of an invoice. A $25 processing fee will be deducted from payment to the college or university for each quarter or semester you attend. The amount paid per credit hour will be based on the current tuition value, which is the current weighted-average tuition and qualified fee payment of the four-year public Alabama colleges and universities as defined in the PACT Rules. Each payment made to an out-of-state or private college will include a qualified fee payment, which will be deducted from your account.
