Payment Schedules
We do not require payment in full at enrollment, unless you have a past-term balance or previous unpaid minimum payment on your account. If you do not pay your balance in full on the first payment date, you will be required to make monthly payments toward your outstanding balance over the course of the semester, and the unpaid balance will be assessed a 1% finance charge. If you enroll after the first due date of the semester, you may be required to make a payment that month to stay enrolled.
Balances, including tuition, ancillary fees, parking violations, bookstore charges, financial aid adjustments, housing fees and other miscellaneous charges, need to be paid in full by the end of the semester.
Late Fees and Finance Charges
We add a $25 late fee each month you fail to make the minimum payment by the payment due date on your billing statement. The only way to avoid the late fee is to pay the minimum payment by the due date on the billing statement.
In addition, we add a 1% monthly finance charge to any unpaid portion of your balance. We recommend you pay as much as possible as early as possible to limit the overall dollar amount of the finance charge.
You can override the default amount in TouchNet to pay any amount if you are paying online. If you have anticipated aid that you are not going to accept, you may need to log into Pathway and decline that aid in order to pay the total due in TouchNet.
Payment Due Dates By Semester
We determine monthly payment due dates by dividing the current semester's charges by the number of installments remaining in the semester:
Fall
- September 1
- October 1
- November 1
- December 1
Spring
- February 1
- March 1
- April 1
- May 1
Summer
- June 20
- July 20
If you register for classes on or after the first billing date for the semester, you will not receive a billing statement before the first payment for the semester is due. Please make the initial payment in TouchNet by the due date for the semester.
Our system does not recognize double payments or paying ahead. Payment must be made between the billing date and the due date showing on the statement to be current and avoid the $25 late fee. If you pay before you are billed for the payment, your account will still be assessed the monthly late fee if another payment is not received before the actual due date for the payment.
If you do not pay your balance in full by the first due date of the semester, you automatically default into the minimum monthly payment plan. Refer to your billing statement for the minimum monthly payment amount due each month.
Minimum Monthly Payment Plans
If you default to the minimum monthly payment plan, your monthly payment will be due according to the semester schedule based on when you registered for classes. You’ll receive an updated invoice around the 15th of each month, which will reflect your current balance and your next minimum payment.
If you fail to make the minimum monthly payment or any of your aid is reduced, your minimum payment will default to the total amount due on the next invoice.
Your minimum payment for each month includes:
- Amount added from 1% monthly finance charge
- New charges
- Aid adjustments
- Payment toward previous invoice
- Number of due dates left in the semester
