Payment Plans and Down Payments
To ensure a smooth start to your classes, it’s important to have your payments settled in full before the Enrollment Deadline in August and January. We understand that financial situations can vary, so we have a flexible solution for those unable to make the full payment upfront. Our combined down payment/interest-free payment plan option allows you to get started with your education while managing your finances responsibly.
Payment Plan Options
| Semester | Downpayment* | Payments | Interest | Administration Fee |
| Fall | $3,000 | 4 equal payments | $0 | $0
|
| Fall | Less than $3,000
| 5 equal payments | $0 | $100 |
| Spring | $1,800 | 5 equal payments | $0 | $0 |
| Spring | Less than $1,800 | 6 equal payments | $0 | $100 |
We highly recommend that students come prepared with a substantial down payment. By doing so, you can enjoy a more manageable payment experience throughout your academic journey. We believe that minimizing unnecessary debt encumbrances is crucial, and we are committed to working with all students to achieve this goal.
