New Accounts Receivable Hold Policy:
Students must have all Fall term charges paid down to at least $2,500 or less and all prior terms must be paid in full to be eligible to register for Winter Term.
The Tuition Deadline for Winter term is January 26, 2026 . All prior term balances and at least 1/3 of tuition & fees should have been paid or a short term deferment should have been processed by the tuition deadline to avoid the $100 late fee.
In addition, accounts that aren’t paid in full by the tuition deadline of January 26, 2026 will be assessed a $12 revolving charge and 0.75% monthly interest.
