Payments are processed mid-month and will continue in accordance with the terms of the payment plan agreement.

  • Credit Card: Paying with your credit card gives you the option of taking advantage of any bonus programs that may be offered by your credit card company. If you elect to use this option, your monthly payment, along with a 2.95% convenience fee, will be automatically charged to the credit card you designate. The convenience fee is in addition to the enrollment fee, and both the convenience fee and enrollment fee are nonrefundable.
