Semester Payment

Payment for the semester is due by the end of the first week of classes. This deadline applies to all students regardless of their payment method. 

You have two options to meet the payment deadline:

  1. Pay in full - Pay your entire semester balance by the deadline
  2. Payment plan - Make your first installment payment if you're enrolled in a payment plan

If you do not make either your full payment or your first installment payment by the end of the first week, you may be charged a late fee.

If you have not enrolled in a payment plan, you must pay your full semester balance If you have enrolled in a payment plan, you only need to make your first installment payment by the deadline

You can make payments through the student portal, by visiting the bursar's office, or through other approved payment methods listed on the university website.
