Payment Plans
The Office of Student Financial Services graciously offers payment plan options for students who wish to pay incrementally towards their tuition term balances rather than paying in full by the payment deadline. Students who do not make payment arrangements by the corresponding due dates will be placed on a manual payment plan by the SFS office and charged a $180 payment plan setup fee. Payment plans are subject to change with the adding/dropping of classes or by adjustments in financial aid.
