Payment quick links
Depending on how you prefer to split up your payments, we have several quick links available below to make it easy to pay by credit card for book fees and enrollment fees. We do not have quick links for tuition payments, since those vary greatly from student to student based on scholarships and the number of students in the household. However, we do offer credit card tuition payments by phone.
