Payment Deadlines

For newly accepted students, a nonrefundable tuition deposit of $100 is required by May 1. New students who plan to live on campus must submit an additional $300 nonrefundable housing deposit at the same time. These payments are credited to the first semester bill.

Tuition, fees, room and board charges for the first semester are due and payable by August 1.

Calculating the Amount to Finance

To calculate the amount a family needs to finance, start with the charges above, subtracting deposits paid and the award amounts listed on the Financial Aid Award Letter, if the award has been made. Do NOT subtract Workstudy funds, as they are not applied to the student account. Financing can be any combination of single payments, payments through a payment plan, or additional parent or student loans, above and beyond the Award Letter.

Withdrawals and Refunds
