Payment Plans
(Now Available Online)
The University offers a monthly payment plan option administered by Nelnet Business Solutions (FACTS). The plan provides an interest-free method to pay educational expenses in monthly installments during the academic semester instead of paying one lump sum.
- Students must be registered for the term and have an outstanding semester balance for the term in order to set up the payment plan.
- Payment plans must be set up before the start of the term.
- Payments are made via direct debit or direct credit card charge on the 5th of every month. Credit card payments will be assessed a convenience fee for each transaction.
- A $35 non-refundable fee is charged for each contract.
- Payments are spread over the length of the semester.
- Anticipated financial aid may be deducted from the total tuition owed to lower monthly payments.
- Students are responsible for communicating any changes during the semester in their academic standing which affects tuition (e.g. adds, drops, changes in the amount of financial aid, etc.) to a Student Accounts Counselor in the Student Financial Services Office. This includes but is not limited to, complete withdrawal from the University.
- Failure to honor payment plan obligations will result in the administrative withdrawal from the University as well as prohibition from utilizing a payment plan in subsequent semesters.
