Installment Payment Plan
The Installment Payment Plan is available for the Fall and Spring semesters (payment plans are not available during the Summer terms). The plan breaks tuition into three payments for a one-time fee of $16.
This enables students to pay 30% of their tuition and fees in advance at the beginning of the semester, 35% prior to the start of the sixth week of class and the final 35% due before the beginning of the eleventh week.
If the second or third payment is not completed by the due date, a $10 late fee is assessed and a registration hold is placed on the student’s record.
Students paying one-half or more (but less than payment in full) without choosing the Installment Payment Plan may be automatically placed on the program to avoid withdrawal for insufficient payment.
