Fall Tuition Deadline Extended to September 14

Good news! Quarterly tuition deadlines have been changes to two weeks before the first day of the quarter.

This change gives you more time to secure funding and aid, and reduces the number of students who are dropped from classes for non-payment.

• For fall quarter 2021, tuition is due September 14.
• Tuition for courses added after September 14 is due within 5 business days of registering or by September 29, whichever is first.
• Once fall quarter begins on September 29, tuition and fees are due within 24 hours of registering.
