Payment Information for all students

  • Payment in Full
    …at the time of registration. Cash, checks, MasterCard, VISA, Discover, and American Express are accepted in the Student Accounts Office.

NOTE: Accounts over 30 days will be assessed a 1.5% finance charge.

  • Interest-Free Monthly Payment Plan
    …administered by Tuition Management Systems. This payment plan allows students to divide college costs into monthly interest-free installments. (e.g. a student paying for the entire academic year would begin making his/her monthly payment on the first of June with each subsequent payment due on the first of each month.) Students must enroll directly with TMS for a $65 annual application fee. Students should sign up with TMS as early as possible to maximize the number of monthly payments to be made, which will lower the required monthly payment. Please call 1-800-722-4867 for more information, or go to www.afford.com.
