Payments

You have a variety of payment options that you can use. Tuition and fees may be paid via cash, check, money order, Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express. Current students (those already enrolled) can make tuition payments on-line using their Student Self-Service account.

We also offer a payment plan that enables you to pay tuition and fees during the course of the semester. Learn how to sign up for a payment plan here.
