Payment Plans

The Office of Student Administrative Services offers you flexible payment options. Please remember that all charges are due by the start of classes at which point the finance charges begin to accrue. If you are not paying in full by the start of classes, the following options are available.

Deferred Payment Plan
If you need to spread out your payments, you can pay 50% percent of your tuition at the start of classes and 50% prior to the end of classes. A 1 percent finance charge is assessed on any unpaid balance each month on the billing date.

Employer Reimbursement Extension Plan
This program allows students who receive tuition reimbursement from their employers to defer three-quarters of their tuition payment until 30 days after the end of the semester. This allows time for tuition reimbursement checks to be issued by your employer.

Company or Government Direct Payment
If your company or branch of the government has a Direct Billing agreement with the College, we will credit your account for the authorized amount once we receive all necessary paperwork from your employer. It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that the paperwork is received by the College at or before the start of classes.

Registration Hold
Student accounts that are not up-to-date will be placed on registration hold. Students with accounts on hold will not be allowed to register until the required balance is paid.
