Tuition/Fees Payment Deadlines

Student accounts will be assessed tuition and fees upon registering for classes. Students are responsible for paying any outstanding balance remaining on the account after all forms of financial aid (Hope, Pell, Scholarships, Third Party Payments, etc.) have been applied to the student account.

Tuition and fees must be paid by the Fee Payment deadline provided in the Academic Calendar published in the official online catalog each year (See Academic Calendar). Students will be removed from their schedule if the balance of tuition and fees is not paid by the tuition/fee payment deadline

To pay your tuition and fees, students may:

First Payment Deadline

Students who register during any registration period prior to drop/add must pay the balance of tuition and fees by the first payment deadline as listed in the Academic Calendar (see Academic Calendar)
