Payment Plan
Our College Payment Plan is designed to assist those students and their families who may find it difficult to pay the total semester bill by the due date, or who wish to make optimal use of credit card services as they cover college costs.
The plan helps everyone, regardless of financial status. You can create the payment schedule that's best for your family AND, if you are getting loans, you may also be able to reduce the amount you need to borrow.
With an application fee of $35 per semester, the Plan allows bills to be paid in the following ways:
- Two equal installments throughout one semester, OR
- One initial payment of one-half the amount due, with three smaller payments over the course of each semester
You can pay by check, money order, Visa, MasterCard, or Discover. You can also pay online by using Banner Web.
Once you've enrolled in the Plan
- Our Students Accounts office will send you a periodic statement for the remaining payments.
- All payments are due on the 20th of each month, even if you do not receive a bill.
