If You Are Not Pursuing a Degree

If you are taking classes for adult education, skill building, or fun, your payment process will be different from students pursuing degrees.

You will pay a fixed registration fee and a cost per class. Please see the Academic Calendar for specifics.

Payment Deadlines

We strictly enforce all payment deadlines.

You may pay either on campus during regular business hours or online until 10 p.m. on the day you register. You must pay on the day you register.

If you do not either pay for your classes or have approved financial arrangements made by the date your bill is due, you may be dropped from classes.

If you are dropped, you will need to register for classes again.

Payment Options

You may not need to pay all costs upfront. We offer several options, such as a deferred payment plan and a third-party payment plan.
