Payment Plans

Tuition Payment Plans will be made available starting mid-May for new academic years.
(The academic year is in this order: Summer, Fall, Spring.)

The tuition payment plans are offered as a debt and interest free alternative to a direct one-time payment, and are administered by Sallie Mae. Since tuition is not being paid in full, payment plan accounts are subject to a hold.

Students may register for a SEMESTER PAYMENT plan or an ANNUAL PAYMENT plan.
NOTE: Annual Payment plans are ONLY for students registering for courses in this combination: Summer, Fall and Spring or Fall and Spring Semesters, consecutively.

For SEMESTER PAYMENT plan: Calculate your contract by taking the semester charges minus any financial aid that you will be receiving for the semesters. Enter this amount under “Enter your plan amount.” See tuition pay website for different Semester Payment plan options

For ANNUAL PAYMENT plan: Calculate your contract by taking charges for ALL the semesters, minus any financial aid that you will be receiving for the year. Enter this amount under “Enter your plan amount.”

EXAMPLE for ADP/Nursing/Graduate programs: Cost Calculation
• MCAA and Regional Cohorts
(# of classes x units per class) x ($/unit) = Total payment plan amount
• ADP and Nursing-Contact Bursar’s office

Please note that your contract amount is an ESTIMATE, as financial aid may change or additional charges may be incurred. We will contact you towards the end of each semester if your contract balance is over or under estimated.

Plans begin as early as May. To enroll or for additional information, please visit the TuitionPay website.

If you have questions on the amount to budget on the TuitionPay program, please contact the Bursar's Office at (949) 214-3075, or by emailing bursar@cui.edu.
