Fall 2026 Terms (Transact)

Starting Monday, May 27, 2026, all online payment services and payment plans for Fall 2026 terms will be processed through Transact.

The Fall 2026 semester includes the following distinct terms:

⚠️ Multi-Term Enrollment Warning (How to Save $65)

Transact requires students to enroll in a separate payment plan for each individual term listed above, which normally triggers a $65 non-refundable enrollment fee for each plan.

Example: If you take courses in both the 26 Fall (15 Weeks) and 26 Fall 7B (7 Weeks) terms, enrolling normally would require two separate down-payments and two separate $65 setup fees ($130 total).

To avoid paying the additional $65 fee for multiple terms, follow these steps:

1. Enroll in your first Fall 2026 term payment plan online and submit the $65 enrollment fee and down payment.
2. From your official Brookdale email address, send an email to cashier@brookdalecc.edu requesting to add your additional Fall term(s) without the extra fee.
3. Include in your email:
   • Your First and Last Name
   • Student ID number
   • Date of Birth
   • Phone Number
4. The Cashier’s Office will email you a unique web link(s) to complete your additional payment plan(s) enrollment(s) fee-free.

Important Payment Plan Notice:

If you add and/or drop a course, Transact does not automatically update your payment plan. You must log in and manually consolidate your new charges into your existing plan in a timely manner.

Failing to update your plan will leave it at the original amount, resulting in an unpaid balance. You are solely responsible for actively monitoring and managing your payment plan.
