Payment Plans
The University offers tuition and fee payment plans for each semester that allows you to divide educational costs for the semester into five equal monthly payments. Students must request payment plans per semester. Fall payment plans are from August to December and Spring payment plans are from January to May. All payment plan payments are due on the 15th of each month. To apply for a payment plan, please use the following link Payment Plan Application.
For a step-by-step guide on how to request a payment plan, please refer to the Payment Plan Guide.
Third-Party Payments
If a third party such as a sponsor has agreed to pay your tuition, Student Finance may be able to facilitate the billing and payment process for you. Please note, however, that even with a third-party payment arrangement in place, you, the student, are ultimately liable for all charges on your account.
Opt-Out of Textbook Fee
Students may elect to opt out of receiving textbooks provided by the University. The opt-out decision must be made and communicated to Business and Finance one day prior to the beginning of classes each semester. Incoming first-year students may opt out only with prior approval by Business & Finance.
Students choosing this option must complete the opt-out of textbooks service request.
Late Payments
If payment is not received by the due date, you will be charged a late payment fee (see “Common Fees” in Financial Regulations booklet). Failure to pay bills on time may result in financial holds on your registration and transcript.
