Note that students whose registration fees are paid by financial aid are responsible for paying the difference by the deadlines if the aid award does not cover all charges. For more information about the application of financial aid awards to charges, refer to Financial Aid Checks within these pages.

Installment Payment Plans (IPP)

The University offers two installment payment plans for the fall and spring term: one for tuition fees, the other for nonresident tuition.

Tuition Fee Installment Payment Plan

This plan allows for the Tuition fee to be paid in three payments. This option is only available to non-Financial Aid students. A non-refundable $33 administrative fee will be applied to the first installment. The first payment is due at the Cashier’s Office prior to your fee payment deadline (The 2nd and 3rd payments are due September 30th and November 1st respectively.)

To take advantage of this installment plan, students can contact Student Financial Services at (707) 826-6789 to obtain and execute an agreement or download a copy of the agreement from the SFS website. Agreements must be executed prior to the fee payment deadline at the SFS Cashier’s Office on the 2nd floor of the SBS Building. The terms of this agreement is superseded by disbursement of any financial aid.

Nonresident Tuition Payment Plan

The Education Code allows a non-resident student to pay the required non-resident tuition on an installment basis; limited to three equal payments. A 15% administrative fee will be assessed to the total non-resident fee amount. All campus based fees, tuition and course fees must be paid prior to executing this agreement.

Non-resident students who wish to use the tuition installment plan must go to the SFS–Cashiers Office in the SBS Building Room 285 to sign an agreement. At that time you will be required to pay registration and tuition fees in full.

As with any fee payment deadline, failure to pay as agreed subjects the student to a late payment fee, a hold placed on the student account, and collection action. Collection action includes collection agency referral and/or small claims court, where the student will be responsible for all applicable collection and/or court costs.
