items are necessary.

INITIAL PAYMENT PLAN SETUP
Sign into your account or Create a New Account using the provided link. Click Set Up A Payment Plan on the left side of the homepage and select the 21-22 school year. In subsequent years the school will, after obtaining your approval, roll over the plan into the new year for you.
The start date of your plan
may affect the number of payments offered on the screen but this will be adjusted after sign up is completed, which is also when the charges agreed upon in your Student Contract are entered by the school. No payments will be run until you have received and approved the schedule. All plans must be completed by June 2022, so late
applicants will make a reduced number of payments.
We request that payments be made on the 5th or 17th of the month. If special circumstances are required please contact Joan Beck Sadow, jsadow@ssnj.org, to discuss alternative payment plans.
Please note that payments made through a credit card are assessed an additional
charge by FACTS for each processing.
For questions not covered in these instructions, contact Joan Beck Sadow at jsadow@ssnj.org.
