Expenses
Tuition and Other Charges
Tuition and fees are fully assessed upon completion of registration.
Terms of Payment
All tuition, room and board, and fees must be paid before classes begin. Bills are mailed to first-time registered students four to six weeks before the semester begins. Thereafter, all bills are sent to the student’s University e-mail account. Students who register after the billing cut-off date pay in full at the time of registration. Students who have a balance due on their account will not be permitted to register for the next semester and will not receive grades or transcripts. Additionally, registration may be canceled for students who fail to meet their financial obligations.
The following options are available for payment of tuition and room and board:
- Cash or check.
- Tuition Payment Plan.
- Credit card. A convenience fee is charged for this service.
The Tuition Payment Plan is available for one’s convenience in budgeting payments to student accounts. Applications are made through the Bursar’s Office. The amount budgeted will be paid each month June 15 through March 15. Any balances on accounts are refunded or billed as payable.
