• Interest-free payment plans are available for each semester.
• Students can log in to TouchNet using their Workday username and password to view their account activity/bill, make a payment, and enroll in a payment plan.
• Students can enroll in a payment plan by following the guide on how to enroll in a plan. Payment plan enrollments are per semester, not the full academic year.
• We charge a $25 nonrefundable payment plan enrollment fee per plan per semester.
• Please note that automatic payments do not carry over to future semesters. Students have to enroll in a payment plan and set up automatic payments every semester.

Tuition, health insurance, miscellaneous fees, housing, and meal plans are due in full at the time of registration, unless a student is signed up for one of the college’s payment plans (see below).

Students may enroll in a payment plan for the balance not covered by their accepted financial aid.

A late fee of $150 will be charged for a term/semester's initial payment that is not made by the due dates of August 1 for Fall and December 1 for Spring.

A late fee of $50 will be charged to subsequent late payments or unpaid balances, or both. This also includes balances that remain due as a result of unsecured financial aid.

We give a grace period through the 15th of each month to avoid the late fee.

Students who apply for financial aid and have yet to complete their financial aid file by August 1 for the fall term, or by December 1 for the spring term (or closest business day), should be prepared to make the required initial payment to either register to secure any pre registered courses.

All types of financial aid -- with the exception of federal work-study -- will be automatically credited to a student's account once his or her financial aid file has been completed.

Any aid awarded in excess of institutional charges will be refunded to the student. If a Federal PLUS loan is credited to a student's account, any refund amount will be mailed to the parent or legal guardian.

Refund checks are mailed automatically, so students are responsible for ensuring their billing address is correct and up to date with Student Accounts. Students who need to update their billing address may do so via Workday.
