In keeping with this philosophy, all tuition and fees are due and payable at the time of enrollment. However, the University does provide convenient payment options for students, which includes Title IV financial aid, private education loans and payment deferrals.

They are not designed to provide income for day-to-day living expenses normally covered by the working adult’s employment income.
