Ƶ Tuition Payment Plan (CTPP) allows all students and families to finance the cost of Tuition, Auxiliary Fees (Housing/Room/Board), and OneCard. The plan is offered as a service to the student, allowing the student to finance education and related costs over the period of a semester. To calculate the amount to include in the plan, students should subtract financial aid and any scholarships from their balance- and only place their uncovered expenses in the payment pan. There is a $50 non- refundable enrollment fee per each semester plans. The Installment Payment plan is based on when the plan is activated (Opening for Fall Semester is mid July and Spring Semester is mid November). Enrollment deadlines can be found on the Student Business Service web page. Failure to pay any outstanding balance by the end of the semester will result in a registration hold being placed on their account until the balance is paid off.
What if I need access to my official transcript?
Note: Ƶ Tuition Payment Plan allows a student to continue their enrollment for a current semester based on the continued good standing with the active payment plan. Official Transcripts are available when the outstanding balance on your student account is paid in full. If you enroll in the Ƶ Tuition Payment Plan and need to have an official transcript, the balance of your plan would need to be paid in full in order for the official transcript request to be processed.
