PAYMENT PLANS

All students must decide how they will pay their charges for the current quarter.  There are two options:  either pay their balance in full (Option 1) or enrolling in a monthly payment plan (Option 2).

OPTION 1: Payment in Full

Pay the balance on your account in full when you register for classes.

OPTION 2: Monthly Payments (with Quarter Enrollment Fee)

  • Make three interest-free payments during the quarter.  If you choose this option, an enrollment fee of $25 will be billed to your account.
  • You balance due will be divided by three.  The first third is due as a down-payment when you enroll in the plan.  The remaining balance will be divided into two equal payments that will be due at the end of the fourth and eighth week of the quarter respectively.
  • As you add or drop classes the balance due and periodic payments will be adjusted.
  • Only students in good standing and with a balance of $50.00 or more for the current quarter are eligible to enroll in an installment plan.
