Tuition Payment Schedule

Tuition may be paid either per program or per session. Payments are due by the fourth day of the first week of each term. After that, a 10 % late fee applies.

Tip: Paying tuition during registration week or on the first day helps avoid late fees.

Registration and Add/Drop Deadlines

Students must complete registration no later than the Friday before a new term begins.

The Add/Drop period ends on the fourth day of the first week, which is also the tuition due date.

After that, class or schedule changes cannot be made.

For help, contact the Admissions Office before your term starts.

Important Information for International Students (F-1 Visa Holders)

Each term lasts four weeks, and completing twelve terms equals one academic year.

After completing your program, F-1 students have a 60-day grace period to prepare for departure, transfer, or change of status.

You must maintain full-time attendance during all active terms.

Contact your Designated School Official (DSO) before traveling or transferring to ensure compliance with SEVIS regulations.
