Installment Payment Plan

The university offers payment plans to assist students and their families in making their payments over a period of time. 

Two payment plans are offered for the fall and spring semesters:

Students may sign up for both plans if needed and each payment plan has a $35 fee. Students with a financial aid fee deferral, but owe housing charges, may opt for the housing payment plan. The number of installment depends on the date the student registers for classes or has housing charges posted and the due date(s) that is assigned to the charges.

Enroll in an IPP before making your first payment.

Tuition and Fees IPP Provisions

The initial payment includes campus mandatory fees, optional SIRF fee, First Day Solutions charges and miscellaneous class fees. These fees must be paid by your payment due date and are not included in the installments.

Eligible charges that can be divided into the installment payments include tuition fees, non-California resident fees, and graduate  professional business program fees. A student must have a minimum of $1,000 in eligible charges to qualify for the payment plan.

When a student enrolls in an IPP, all eligible charges are divided into installments. If new charges post after any/all installment payments have been made, the new charges will be divided into the number of installments will pending for the plan. Students must check their My91ÁÔÆæ account after charges are incurred to see the latest installment balance(s) and due date(s). In other words, if you add or drop a class and your full-time or part-time status changes, this will be reflected on your account.

Payment Due Dates 

On-time payments are part of the IPP terms and agreement. If you fail to pay on time, 91ÁÔÆæ may place a past-due hold, preventing you from enrolling in future classes. 

For any reason that you choose not to attend classes, it is your responsibility to drop all classes prior to the first day of the term in order not to owe a debt to 91ÁÔÆæ. All rules apply.
