A Few Things to Remember

  • No deposit necessary! However, you must pay your bill by the “Tuition Due Date” before the semester starts. 
  • You’re responsible for ensuring your bill is completely covered by payment, authorized financial aid, payment plan or a third party. 
  • If you don’t pay your account by the due date, you’ll be dropped from classes for non-payment and will not be able to re-register until full payment is made.
