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 the time of registration to cover the total semester cost will be given a one percent (1%) discount off the total 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 can be divided into 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.
