As we are changing to semesters in the Fall of 2025, payment options will be changing, also.

Payments for the semester will still be due the Thursday prior to the beginning of the semester. There will be a late fee of $50 assessed to all students who still owe a balance, and have no financial aid in place to cover the balance, the Friday prior to the term beginning. This will be for all programs, including Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Pharmacy and Osteopathic Medicine.

At the end of each following month, until the term has ended, if there is still an outstanding balance on the student account there will be another $50 late fee assessed. After the second month of non-payment, or financial aid not being approved, holds will be placed on the student accounts, which will prevent any changes being made or future registration.

Students may arrange to pay their registration bills in full at the time of registration or by the end of the day on the Thursday before the first day of the semester to avoid late payment fees. New students registering on the Friday prior to the beginning of the trimester will not be charged a late payment fee if payment arrangements are made by 5 p.m. We accept cash, personal or business checks, or money orders in the office. Online payment is available through the student portal; Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express, as well as check payments, are accepted online. All credit/debit card payments made on student accounts will be assessed a processing fee of 2.5% of the total payment made.

Billing statements are not sent through the mail; students must access their ledger on the student portal to check on the balance due. An email will be sent approximately a week before the due date for each semester to the student email accounts as a payment reminder.

***Remember that you must make payment or have financial aid in place by the Thursday prior to classes starting in order to avoid being automatically charged a $50 late payment fee. All classes will remain “Unofficial” on the class rosters until payment is made.
