Payment Plans and Payment Methods
Payment Plans
Payment of all regular charges is due prior to the beginning of each semester. First semester charges, less financial aid credits, are due no later than August 1. Second semester charges, less financial aid credits, are due no later than January 4.
Charges may be paid in 5 monthly installments. For the fall semester, installments are due by the first of the month, August through December. For the spring semester, installments are due by the first of the month, January through May. There is a fee of $50 per semester to participate in the Monthly Payment Plan. To take advantage of the five-installment option, you must enroll prior to the first due date: August 1 for fall and January 4 for spring.
