Tuition Schedule

Tuition is due at the time of registration each quarter. Late registration closes at the end of the first day of classes of a new quarter. Individual payment plans with a maximum of three payments per quarter may be arranged, if prior quarter's payment plans were paid in a timely manner. If by the first day of classes, payments have not been made or a completed financial aid application has not been submitted, the $100 late payment fee will be charged. Students waiting for financial aid approval must follow the tuition policy explained above. Students, who do not make scheduled payments, will not be allowed to take midterms or finals or given credit for a quarter not fully paid for and will not be allowed to re-enroll in the next quarter until past due payments are paid. All money received is applied first to past due balances.
