Method of Payment

Advance Deposit An advance deposit is required for all students for the Fall and Summer terms. This deposit allows the student to pre-register for classes for the upcoming term and for resident students, it allows them to participate in the room lottery process. The advance deposit is due as follows:

Resident Students $ 800
Commuter Students $ 500
Part-time Students $ 100
Summer $ 125 (non-refundable)

For new students, the advance deposit is due on or before May 1st and will be refunded, except Summer, in full, for written cancellations received by May 1st. For returning students, the advance deposit is due on or before March 1st and will be refunded, except Summer, in full for written cancellations received by June 15th.

For students not attending Fall term, the Spring term advance deposit is due prior to the student pre-registering for Spring courses and is refunded in full for written cancellations received by December 1st.

The advance deposit will be applied against the tuition and fees charged for the current term. Resident students who request and receive permission to live off campus after June 15th will forfeit $300 of the required advance deposit. The remainder of fees for each term are billed and due prior to the beginning of each term. Students will not be allowed to check-in with the Registrar’s Office until their account is paid in full and all financial arrangements are completed.

Monthly Payment Plan
Those who prefer to pay the comprehensive fee in equal monthly installments may choose among plans offered by Tuition Management Systems, Inc. (TMS). TMS offers several interest-free monthly payment options by providing more manageable cash flow and greater budgeting flexibility for a small enrollment fee of $60. The most popular of the payment plans is a 10-month plan that begins June 1st and runs through March 1st.

Life insurance is provided for an insurable parent which covers the remaining portion of the student’s contract in the event of the parent’s death.

Information concerning the available payment plans will be mailed during the Spring. Additional information may be obtained in advance by writing, calling or visiting the website of TMS.
