Payment Options
Students who have failed to complete financial arrangements by the Thursday prior to the first day of classes will be charged a $50.00 late fee. Students who have not made payment arrangements by the Friday of the first week of class will be charged another $50 deferred payment/administrative fee. New students who register on Friday, General Registration day will not be charged a late fee if they make payment arrangements by the end of the day.
Students may arrange to pay their registration bills in full at the time of registration or by the end of the day on the Thursday before the first day of the term to avoid late payment fees. New students registering on the Friday prior to the beginning of the term will not be charged a late payment fee if payment arrangements are made by 5 p.m. We accept cash, personal or business checks in the office. Online payment is available through the student portal, Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express, as well as check payments, are accepted online. All credit/debit card payments made on student accounts will be assessed a processing fee of 2.5% of the total payment made.
The "Deferred Payment Plan" allows the flexibility of splitting your balance due into three payments. A $50.00 administrative fee is assessed each term if one chooses to use this plan. The balance due is the amount owed after adding all tuition, fees, room, board, and any other miscellaneous fees and subtracting all pending financial aid awards for the term. To use this plan, one-half of the balance due must be paid by the Thursday prior to the first day of the term. See the attached schedule for payment due dates. Delinquent monthly payments will be assessed a $30.00 late fee.
