Other Charges:

There are two other potential charges:

  • Flexible Payment Plan Charges

    Those on the Flexible Payment Plan must pay the initial 25% payment for every term  which will be due by the end of the first week of classes.

    • For the Fall term, the second 25% payment is due September 15, the third 25% payment is due October 15, and the remaining balance is due November 15.
    • For the Spring term, the second 25% payment is due February 15, the third 25% payment is due March 15, and the remaining balance is due April 15.
    • For Summer, the remaining balance is due by July 5.

     
    This payment method will incur finance charges equal to one half percent (1/2%) per month or (6%) per year on the unpaid balance. Accounts not paid in full by the last due date will be assessed a $75 late payment penalty.

  •  Late Payment Fee Charges

    If you fail to pay your balance by the final deadline (April 15 for Spring Semesters or November 15 for Fall semesters), a $75 late payment fee will be added to your account balance. You will not be charged this late fee if you pay your bill before the final due date.
