Payment Options

Full payment of the student’s bill is due by the date indicated on the statement. It is the responsibility of the student and any designated payers to pay any amounts not covered by financial aid or outside sources.

The payment will show as a new line item within 24 hours, but please allow 3-5 business days for the bank transfer to be completed.

Each semester, a family may enroll in the monthly payment plan to pay for the semester bill. There is an enrollment fee of $35 for each semester enrolled and re-enrollment is required for each semester a payment plan is used. Enrollment does not carry from one semester to another. Monthly payments must be made via ACH through the payment portal, not by check.
