Financial Aid award or scholarship recipients should contact the Financial Aid office on their campus for additional information. Students are not required to sign-up for the installment plan.

- Students must be registered for the current semester to sign up for a payment plan. Students will not be able to sign up for a payment plan if there is a past due balance on their student account from a previous term, or if there is a financial obligation hold on their account. Past due balances must be paid and financial obligation holds must be cleared prior to enrolling in a payment plan.
- Enrollment in the payment plan will not result in the removal of any financial obligation hold.

Please note, that although we welcome your inquiries, due to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), we may not be able to discuss with you the specific details of a student’s account without his/her written consent. We may only be able to discuss general information with you when you contact our office.

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) (20 U.S.C. § 1232g; 34 CFR Part 99) is a Federal law that protects the privacy of student education records. The law applies to all schools that receive funds under an applicable program of the U.S. Department of Education.
FERPA gives parents certain rights with respect to their children’s education records. These rights transfer to the student when he or she reaches the age of 18 or attends a school beyond the high school level. Students to whom the rights have transferred are “eligible students.”
