Payment Options
Payments for each semester are due the Thursday prior to the beginning of the term. On the Friday prior to the beginning of the term, a $50 late fee will be assessed to all students who still owe a balance and have no financial aid in place to cover that balance. This is applicable for all programs, including Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Pharmacy and Osteopathic Medicine.
At the end of each following month, until the term has ended, additional $50 late fees will be assessed on outstanding balances. After the second month of non-payment, or financial aid not being approved, holds will be placed on the student accounts registration for future terms.
Students may arrange to pay their 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 term 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 amount.
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 due dates semester to 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.
