Ways To Pay
We know everyone’s situation is different, so we offer payment options to fit your life.
Want to take care of everything up front? That’s an option. You can pay your full tuition before the term begins.
Not ready to pay all at once? No problem. You can make weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly payments during the first 10 weeks of class.
- A down payment is required before the first day of class.
- You’ll sign a short agreement with our program administrator.
- Payment amounts vary depending on your plan.
Payments are not accepted during class or school office hours. If you have questions, feel free to call or text us.
Financing Options
Looking for a flexible way to pay over time? We’ve teamed up with a couple of trusted financing partners.
A fast and easy way to apply with no hard credit check. Most students get approved in just a few minutes.
CareCredit gives you the option to finance with no interest for the first six months. Approval is quick, and the terms are student-friendly. We’re happy to connect you with these options, but all agreements are made directly between you and the lender.
