Financial Aid

Payment Plans

Students are required to pay all of the net balance due for the semester prior to the first day of classes unless they are using the Monthly Payment Plan.

The net balance is the amount due after all forms of financial aid, except earnings from the Student Employment Programs, are credited toward the student account charges. Since students are paid directly for student employment hours worked, this is not considered to be a direct source of financial aid available for Monthly Payment Plan purposes.

The Monthly Payment Plan is available for students through the University Business Office. Families may make monthly payments of one-fifth of the net semester balance due, after considering all grants, scholarships, and loans.

These monthly payments begin in August for the fall semester and January for the spring semester. Payments are due on the fifth day of each month.
