Payment Plans & Financial Assistance

Flexible, interest-free payment plans available to students who prefer to pay out of pocket.

University Payment Plans

Personalised financial evaluation for each student

Payment plans are discussed during meetings where the student is evaluated privately and impartially to determine the amount that they and their family can be expected to contribute to their education.

This amount is then compared to the associated cost of education including tuition, fees, housing, meals, transportation, certain living expenses, books, and supplies.

Payment arrangements must be made prior to the start of the term/semester — your first payment must be made before the term begins.
The University does not charge interest rates on its payment plan.
