To comply with Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCIDSS), the university carefully processes all credit card payments according to industry standards. The credit card industry implemented PCIDSS to protect the security of your personal information.
Credit card transaction fee
The university has contracted with a third-party service provider that is compliant with the PCIDSS to process credit cards on our behalf. The 2.95% rate charged by the service provider is determined as the cost of providing the service. The fees collected are retained by the service provider for payment of the bank transaction fees.
The 2.95% fee is not refundable, even if your student account payment is refunded.
Installment plan
The installment plan allows students to split their tuition into more manageable monthly installments over the course of the semester. For more information, please go to our payment options page.
