Tuition Payment Options

Option 1 – Payment in Full: Personal funds, loans, grants, scholarships, etc. can be used toward payment in full at registration. Federal Work-Study funds cannot be used toward payment in full.

Students in the traditional undergraduate program who have funds available at registration to cover the total semester costs will be entitled to a one percent (1%) cash discount off the total of semester charges less any institutional funds.

Option 2 – Monthly Payment Plan: After the financial aid listed on your award letter (except Federal Work-Study) has been applied, the remaining semester balance is divided into four monthly payments. There is a $25 deferred payment fee per semester. There is no monthly interest charge; however, a $25 late payment fee is assessed for each late payment.

For Graduate and Undergraduate Students

• Late Payments
  Payments received after the 20th of the month will be assessed a $25 late payment fee.
• Payment Methods
  Payments may be made in person at the cashier’s window, by phone with a credit or debit card or by mail.
