• Monthly payments are made by the 10th of each month.
• If you add classes after your Tuition Payment Plan is approved, tuition from the classes will be added to your Tuition Payment Plan, and your next monthly payment will increase accordingly.
• If you drop a class during the tuition refund period, the amount of credit you receive, if any, will apply to your next Tuition Payment Plan payment.
• If your payment is not received by the due date, you will be assessed a $15 late fee and a hold will be placed on your school records.
• You'll be charged $20 for returned checks, as well as a $50 late-tuition fee. Fees and penalties are paid prior to the application of any payments to your Tuition Payment Plan outstanding balance.
