TUITION & FEES

Your tuition’s due—and you need more time. With our tuition payment plan, you can spread out your payments over the course of the semester. Our finance office is always available to answer your questions and help you make prompt payments.


FINANCIAL AID & SCHOLARSHIPS

We believe everyone deserves access to a quality higher education. We offer many financial aid programs, loans, and scholarships for full and part-time students who may not be able to afford their degree. To be approved for financial aid, you must complete the FAFSA application. We offer various state, federal, and institutional options.
