Payment Options & Payment Plans
Choose the payment method that best fits your circumstances. Students may pay the applicable tuition in full or use an approved interest-free monthly payment plan with a 10% Payment Plan Administration Fee.
Two straightforward ways to pay
Students may pay their applicable tuition in full or use an available interest-free monthly payment plan. Monthly plans include a 10% Payment Plan Administration Fee to support the administration and servicing of the extended payment arrangement.
Your actual tuition is based on your selected program and, for eligible Bachelor’s degree students, any approved HESEAP Classroom Learning Credit.

How HESEAP affects a Bachelor payment plan
HESEAP applies only to eligible Bachelor’s degree students. When Classroom Learning Credit is approved for a Bachelor requirement, the instructional tuition associated with that approved requirement may be reduced or eliminated.
The student’s payment plan is based on the approved Bachelor tuition balance after the HESEAP evaluation. HESEAP does not apply to Associate degree programs.

Payment plan questions
Does a monthly payment plan cost more than paying in full?
Yes. Monthly payment plans are interest-free, but a 10% Payment Plan Administration Fee is added to the applicable tuition balance.
How is my monthly payment calculated?
The applicable tuition is determined first, then the 10% Payment Plan Administration Fee is added. The initial payment is 25% of that payment-plan total, and the remaining 75% is divided into equal monthly payments over the selected term.
Does HESEAP affect my payment plan?
For eligible Bachelor’s degree students, yes. The payment plan is based on the approved Bachelor tuition balance after applicable HESEAP Classroom Learning Credit.
Does HESEAP apply to Associate degrees?
No. Associate degree tuition is separately priced and HESEAP does not apply.
Is AutoPay required?
Yes. Students using a monthly payment plan must maintain a valid credit or debit card on file and authorize USILACS to process scheduled payments automatically.
When are my diploma, certificate, or transcript released?
Official educational documents are not released until the student account is paid in full and all required academic obligations have been satisfied.
Can I pay my balance early?
Yes. Students may prepay the remaining balance without penalty.
