Payment Policy

The University requires that arrangements for payment of tuition fand fees or all courses in an academic yearbe completed in full at the time of registration. Students may choose to pay tuition and fees by check, cash, and/or credit card.

The University offers the services of several private companies that offer alternative methods of paying for educational costs. The Office of Financial Aid will assist students in budgeting a payment plan using a wide range of financing alternatives. Students eligible for employer-sponsored tuition reimbursement benefits may request a deferred payment plan. Further questions regarding these payment plans should be directed to a representative in the the Office of Financial Aid.

Students qualifying for federal financial assistance programs may use certain types of loans and/or grants to satisfy their financial obligations at the time of registration, even though the aid may not have been physically disbursed to them or posted to their accounts.

Students seeking to meet their financial obligations in this manner must understand that it is their responsibility to provide all information and documentation necessary to obtain all forms of financial aid by the deadlines imposed by the fund source. Failure to do so may result in the student having to provide immediate payment of all applicable tuition and fees.
