Can I defer or postpone a monthly tuition payment?
Students can choose from the following three deferment options:
5-day deferment: Defer a single payment 5 days from its original due date at no charge
10-day deferment: Defer a single payment by 10 days from its original due date for a fee of $10.00
End-of-term deferment: Defer a single payment to the end of your loan term for a fee of $25.00
Deferment options are based on the original payment due date, NOT on the date you choose to defer. In other words, if you are seven days late on your scheduled payment, you cannot choose the 5 day deferment option because you have already exceeded this time period. You can, however, choose the 10 day or end-of-term deferment option as long as you meet the below criteria.
Deferment Criteria:
You must pay the deferment fee with a credit card at the time of processing.
You cannot defer multiple payments at once.
You may only defer the next due payment.
You cannot defer the same payment more than once.
You cannot defer two consecutive tuition installments.
You can only defer one payment to the end of your loan term. Additionally, you can only defer a payment to the end of your loan term IF you have previously made three payments on-time.
