Payment Plans

Students are billed each quarter for tuition due. Typically, tuition payments are made in full prior to the start of the quarter. Students now have the option to split their tuition into three monthly payments for a $75.00 installment fee. Students must request the payment plan on a quarterly basis, otherwise tuition will be due in full.

For any questions regarding alternative loans or payment plans, please contact Reghan Laki during her office hours (Monday-Wednesday 9:00am-6:00pm) at 216.221.8584 ext. 109.
