Tuition Payment & Billing
Please note, before a student can sign up for a payment plan they must be registered and have all financial aid accepted and finalized. Students who are covered in full by aid do not need to sign up for a payment plan. Students without financial aid or who are only covered partially in aid must make a payment arrangement for each semester by the set deadline. Please log into PROWL to check your financial aid status. If you have not completed your requirements, you will be expected to make a payment by the payment deadline. Please allow at least 24 hours after registering and/or accepting your aid before logging into the Student Account Center to pay the balance due or enroll in a payment plan.
