This payment policy for international students becomes effective with international students entering the University for the first time, beginning fall semester 2024.

New international students enrolling in the fall semester are required to pay their annual net expected financial obligation, as documented on the I-20, according to the following schedule.

At a minimum, international students must pay their annual expected financial obligation to the University in three (3) payments on or before the following dates:

Down Payment of 40% on August 1*
2nd Payment of 30% on November 1st 
3rd Payment of remaining balance on March 1st 

(*) Failure to make the first scheduled payment (Down Payment) by the date indicated will result in the cancellation of the student’s I-20 and their acceptance to the University.

For students entering the University for the first time in a spring semester, 100% of the student’s expected semester financial obligation is due by December 15th , before the start of the spring semester.

All expected financial obligations for summer session(s) are due before enrollment and/or housing can be secured.

A student’s failure to keep their account balance current according to these payment schedules may result in the student’s suspension from classes, or it may prevent the student from enrolling in a future semester.

All other policies in the University Catalog relating to financial obligations will apply.

A student’s expected financial obligation will be calculated by the Business Office using charges based on full-time enrollment, residential status, and other applicable charges, to determine estimated total charges. Financial aid which the student is expected to receive will be deducted from the estimated charges to determine the estimated amount due. Actual charges and balance may vary from the expected balance as calculated.
