One-Time Payments

One Time Payments

Account balances for the fall semester are due by August 5th and by January 5th for the spring semester. Additionally, students and families can pay for any incidental charges (parking pass, misplaced ID cards, etc) that may occur during the semester through the Payment Portal. The instructions below will show you how to make one time payments through the Payment Portal both by logging into the Portal and without logging into the Portal.

Accessing the Payment Portal:

Payment Portal Features:

  • Authorized Users: The Payment Portal allows students to add authorized parties (parents, grandparents, etc) to their accounts. Students may add an authorized party by logging into their Payment Portal and selecting “Add an Authorized Party”.

Students are also giving the Office of Student Financial Services permission to discuss their account information with their authorized party(ies).
  • Payment Plans: For Fall and Spring semesters, students and authorized parties can choose to enroll in a 4 month or 5 month payment plan. For the Summer semester, students and authorized parties can choose to enroll in a 3 month payment plan.
