Term by Term Tuition Payment Plan
Payment of a term's tuition/fees/room and board and other charges is made by the first day of the term.
Deferred Tuition/Installment Plan
There is a $35 per term fee associated with this plan. Tuition/fees/room and board and other charges incurred for the term will be divided into three equal installments requiring a payment of one-third plus $35 by the first day of the term, one-third on the 30th day following the first class, and the final one-third on the 60th day following the first class.
Direct Billing to a Third Party
Under this plan, the third party pays the University directly for all or a portion of the tuition and fees. Payment from the third party or information regarding where to bill for the classes must accompany the registration. In addition, any amount not covered by the third party is due by the first day of class.
Tuition Reimbursement
Under this plan, a student who has a tuition reimbursement plan at work may defer up to 75% of the cost of a term. 25% of a term’s tuition is due by the first day of class. In addition, a copy of the employer’s reimbursement policy as well as the student’s eligibility for the plan must accompany the Promissory Note. There is a $35 handling fee per term in order to participate in this plan.
