Paying Your Fee
This secure website is for high school students who are in an eligible PNW College Credit CTE Dual Credit class this school year and need to pay their $50 fee for current classes. Please be sure that you have added the eligible class to your SERS account before making your payment.
This website is part of Bellevue College’s financial system. Bellevue College is PNW College Credit’s fiscal agent. Even though your credit card or bank statement may indicate a payment to Bellevue College, all payments made through this website are payable to PNW College Credit. All PNW College Credit fees – for all college & school district partners listed above – should be paid here.
Each $50 fee covers all high school CTE Dual Credit courses a student is enrolled in during this school year. If you enroll and register for more classes in a different school year, you will need to pay a $50 fee by June 15th of that school year as well. Payments for classes taken in prior school years are not allowed on this website. If you have prior year credit you with to claim, please email our team at Info@PNWcollegecredit.org for assistance.
Be sure to register online before attempting to pay your fee – you will need your SERS ID number (TPN-NN-NNNN) assigned by the CTE SERS registration system to make your payment online.
This fee is non-refundable, regardless of if you earn college credit.
Do not pay twice!
