2003-2004 Online MBA Tuition and Fees
There is no additional charge for our online courses. You must pay any fees owed plus 33% of the total tuition due before the start of class. The entire outstanding balance is due in full with the first bill received after the start of class. Once classes begin, finance charges will accrue on all unpaid balances at the rate of 1% per month.

If you are paying by credit card, you may email, phone or fax us your credit card information; please include your name, card number and expiration date.

Please note: you may use credit cards ONLY for payments made towards new charges at the time of your initial registration. The College accepts MasterCard, Visa and Discover. We do not accept credit cards for any payments you make after you have registered. If you wish to charge all fees and tuition due, you must do so at the time of registration.

If you are sending us a check or payment authorization, your registration will be held for a ten-day period. If your payment or paperwork is not received within ten days, you will be dropped from your class.

Students with outstanding balances will be placed on registration hold. If your account is on hold at the time of registration due to an outstanding previous balance, you will not be allowed to register for the next term until you have cleared your account by payment with check or cash only.

Employer Reimbursement Extension Plan

This plan is designed for students receiving reimbursement from their employer for tuition and fees. It allows students to defer two-thirds of their tuition payment until 30 days after grades are received, to allow time for tuition reimbursement to be processed by the employer. In order to participate in this plan, students must complete an enrollment form and provide a letter of verification from their employer that they are eligible for tuition reimbursement. You are required to provide payment of any fees owed plus a 33 % tuition deposit at the time of registration. Under this plan, the remaining balance is due 30 days after grades are received. . Once classes begin, finance charges will accrue on all unpaid balances at the rate of 1% per month.

Company or Government Direct Payment

With direct payment, the student’s employer pays the college directly for tuition and fees. Students who have their tuition underwritten by their employer must provide the employer authorization form at the time of registration for each semester or term. If no authorization form is provided, a student will be treated as self-paying. Students with direct pay remain responsible for their bills.
