Tuition and Payments

Accepted Forms of Payment

Pay in Full - A payment in full can be processed online by a Visa, Master Card, Discover or American Express credit/debit card or electronic check by accessing the secure TRANSACT INTEGRATED PAYMENTS payment portal from the My Account Balance link.

  • Credit Card Payments - A convenience fee of 2.85% is charged to transactions based on the total payment amount (4.25% for international credit card transactions). Minimum convenience fee of $3.  The College cannot accept credit card payments over the phone, nor authorizations by mail or fax.
  • Electronic Check (eCheck)- eCheck is offered as an online payment option that does not incur the convenience fee. When submitting an eCheck payment students will be prompted to enter their bank routing number and account number. Examples of how you may correctly identify these numbers on a personal check can be found here .

Students may also pay by mailing a check, money order or cashiers check to:

Checks and eChecks are not a guarantee of payment until funds are withdrawn from your bank.

Your enrollment will not be complete until your payment has been received.  Failure to meet the college's payment deadline can subject your entire semester's registration to cancellation.
