Your Out-of-Pocket

Financing your Out-of-Pocket Expense

  • Students who have a balance due after all financial aid is applied can make monthly payment arrangements with the Business Office (major credit cards are accepted). 
  • Parents may consider applying for a Federal Parent PLUS loan to assist their son or daughter with tuition, room and board or other college expenses. 
  • Students may consider applying for a private/alternate student loan through a bank or other lending institution.   
  • Don't forget to search for external scholarships, especially in your local community.  For a list of scholarship search engines on the Web, CLICK HERE.

Terms of Payment

All students will be required to pay in full five calendar days before classes begin, 'The Original Due Date' of the fall semester is August 16; spring semester January 12.  If a payment plan is approved by the Bursar, at least ½ the balance owed must be paid by the original due date, and the remaining ½ balance can be paid through automatic payment deduction from an eligible financial institution in the United States, in up to three equal installments.  An additional fee of $100 will be charged to all accounts whose balance is not paid in full by the original due date.  There are a range of possible consequences that could result from failure to comply, including but not limited to: student id deactivated, student account suspension, scheduled classes can be dropped, and/or students can be referred for student judiciary action.  

For the Fall Semester the original due date is August 16, on an approved payment plan the entire balance must be paid in full by November 1.

For the Spring Semester the original due date is January 10, on an approved payment plan the entire balance must be paid in full by April 1.

For example, if your balance owed for the fall semester is $9,000, at least $4,600 must be paid by August 16.  50% of the balance plus a $100 fee.  Then with an approved automatic debit payment plan make $1,500 payments on September 1, October 1, and November 1.   

For the Summer Session the entire balance must be paid by the first day of class.
