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 that of students pursuing degrees. You will pay a fixed registration fee and a per-class fee. Please see the Academic Calendar for specifics.

Payment Deadlines

All payment deadlines are strictly enforced. Pay on the day you register, either on campus during regular business hours or online until 10 p.m.

If you do not pay or have approved financial arrangements by the date your bill is due, you may be dropped from classes and will need to register 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.
