PAYMENT OF TUITION AND FEES
Each semester, tuition and fee payments are
due in full from all students at the time of
registration.* The University reserves the
right to de-register students from classes and
deny access to campus buildings if payment
or payment arrangements are not made at
the time of registration. Payment in full
refers to various methods, used alone or in
combination, including cash, check, money
order or credit card (Visa, MasterCard,
American Express and Discover only),
financial aid, grants and loans or tuition
arrangements authorized by the Office of
Student Accounts. Evidence of financial aid
must be presented to the Office of Student
Accounts in order to use the anticipated aid
to satisfy tuition costs.
Tuition must be paid in full, including
disbursement of loans and all other aid, in
order to receive permission to register for
the next semester. Students participating in
a payment plan or the graduate deferment
plan must pay in full according to the rules
of the plan. The University reserves the
right to withhold transcripts, diplomas and
other services, including registration and
participation in graduation activities, from
students whose financial obligations have
not been fully met.
*This does not apply to early registration. In this
case, payment is due by the date specified in the
tuition biling invoice, usually about one month prior
to the start of classes.
PAYMENT OPTIONS
The University provides monthly, by
semester and yearly payment options. The
