Payment Information

All payments or required payment authorization documents must be received by the University no later than 10 days after the registration request is submitted via Student Planning.

Non-payment may also result in cancellation of the registration request. There are no exceptions to this policy.

The registration system calculates the total tuition and fee charges for the semester based on the selected courses. You may utilize more than one method of payment to cover the total charges for the semester. If you utilize multiple payment methods, it is your responsibility to determine how much of the total charge is applied to each. If all methods of payment are not received by Student Administrative Services within the 10-day time period after registration request, you run the risk of being placed on a financial hold or cancellation of your registration request due to insufficient funds.

Those students given permission to co-op into another area of study may experience an over-payment of charges (ex., an MBA student taking an undergraduate course). Students in the co-op category generally pay the lesser of two rates depending on program selection. The automatic billing feature may not always use this criteria in calculating tuition charges. Any over-payment is refunded by Student Administrative Services.
