Deferred Payment Plans

State University Fee Installment Contract Procedures

The state university fee (SUF) installment contract (pdf) is intended to assist non-financial aid students and defers two-thirds of the State University Fee for all eligible students who apply. There is a $33 non-refundable installment contract fee per semester and a new contract must be completed each semester.

Contracts are available at Student Financial Services, Student Services Center 230 and online. Payment is not required at the time a contract is signed. However, both the signed contract and initial payment must be received by Student Financial Services by the registration fee payment deadline. You must sign up for the SUF payment contract no later than the second Friday of classes. Invoices are prepared and mailed approximately two weeks before each payment is due for second and third payments.

Non-Resident Tuition Deferred Payment

The non-resident tuition deferred payment plan is intended to assist non-financial aid students and defers the non-resident tuition only. Registration fees must be paid by the registration fee payment deadline. Non-resident tuition must be paid in full or a non-resident tuition contract signed by the second Friday of a semester. Failure to pay fees in full or complete a non-resident tuition contract will result in disenrollment. Any unpaid non-resident tuition will be subject to a 15 percent service charge with three equal payments of non-resident tuition and service charge due at the beginning of each month (October, November, December for fall semester; March, April, and May for spring semester). Contracts are available at Student Financial Services in the Student Services Center 230. You must meet with a staff person before completing the contract. Follow-up invoices will be mailed approximately two weeks before each payment date.
