There is no enrollment fee to participate in THE budget payment plan

Cleveland State offers a no-cost payment plan as an arrangement to make current semester tuition payments more affordable by spreading payments over a number of months.  This payment plan is available to all students, regardless of the number of credits or tuition amount.  The budget payment plan is also an option for students accepting financial aid.  A few new things to consider:

• The Budget Payment Plan will be available for enrollment approximately 30 days before the semester begins.
• You must make your first payment (20% of current balance for Fall/Spring, 33% of current balance for Summer, plus any prior semester balances) before you are eligible to enroll.
• For the FALL and SPRING semester, there are 5 installments (including your initial payment).  Incurring charges after a due date will result in remaining payments being adjusted.
• For the SUMMER semester, there are 3 installments.  Incurring charges after a due date will result in the remaining payments being adjusted.

Remember:

• You must enroll EVERY semester
• Payments are due by the date specified on your account
• Due dates are ALWAYS on a MONDAY.
• You can make payments electronically through , mail in your payments or drop off a check in our night depository (located outside BH115)
• Financial aid cannot be used as a payment towards a Budget Payment Plan (initial or installment).
• You'll need to make your payment each month by the due date; the University does not currently offer an auto-debit option.
• If you add or drop classes, the amount of each of your remaining payments will be automatically adjusted
• Federal regulations prohibit the use of current financial aid for payment of past-due charges
• All current semester fees owed to the University are included in the terms of a payment plan. Prior balances CANNOT be included with a current semester payment plan.  
• The payment plan constitutes a promissory note for education purposes and your enrollment includes a valid electronic signature. These charges are not dischargeable in bankruptcy.  Should this debt be placed in the hands of a collection agency or an attorney for collection, or should suit be brought to collect the outstanding balance, the student agrees to pay all costs of collection, including but not limited to, the reasonable fees and cost charged by a collection agency, filing fees, all costs and expenses arising from any suit filed to enforce this note including reasonable attorney's fees.

Does your employer have a tuition reimbursement program where they pay you after you've successfully completed your coursework?

Once you submit the initial 25% payment,  click here to submit your documentation for the Employer Reimbursement payment plan.

We'll modify your payment plan so you'll only need to make one final payment 4 weeks after the last day of academic instruction.  Documentation needs to be current, approved, and verify that you are employed and eligible for tuition reimbursement benefits for the current semester.  Updated documentation is needed each semester that you wish to enroll in this payment plan.

Please ensure your initial payment is completed by the semester payment due date (Monday before classes begin).  Documentation will be processed within 10 business days (and prior to the second standard payment due date, as long as your documentation is submitted timely).
