Office of Student Financial Assistance

PAYMENT POLICY: All students are required to pay their tuition and fees at the time of registration. Students may pay by cash, check or credit card. Students unable to pay in full must enroll in our convenient “Pay As You Go” payment plan. Students receiving financial aid (i.e., grants and loans) must enroll in the College’s deferred payment plan. Direct links to these payment options are found in myACCESS, or enrollment forms are available at Registration, Student Financial Assistance or Cashiers offices. Students who are sponsored by their employer must now pay their tuition and fees first to the College, then obtain reimbursement from their employer per their individual benefit policies. (Eligibility for automatic payments is based on the status of your Financial Aid Award. If your Financial Aid application is incomplete when you register for classes you may not be able to take advantage of the deferred payment option.)
