What happens to monthly payment plans during a leave of absence or deferred enrollments?
Students on an established monthly payment plan should understand how their payments are handled during a deferred enrollment or leave of absence (LOA).
Deferred Enrollment
If you are approved for a deferred enrollment:
-
You must have already submitted any required down payments.
-
The Financial Aid Office will adjust your payment schedule.
-
Your recurring monthly payments will resume at the start of the semester following your deferred term.
Important Notes:
-
You are financially obligated for the full term you are enrolled in, which will be the semester after the deferred term.
-
If a scheduled payment is declined:
-
Your student account will be locked until the balance is paid.
-
You must resolve the missed payment before access is restored.
-
Leave of Absence (LOA)
If you are currently enrolled in a semester and are approved for a Leave of Absence for the following semester:
-
You must complete all financial obligations for the current semester, including remaining monthly payments.
-
Your recurring monthly payment plan will be rescheduled to begin on the start date of the semester in which you return.
Important Notes:
-
If a payment is declined:
-
Your account will be locked.
-
The outstanding balance must be paid before access is restored.
-
Account Reinstatement After Lock
If your account is locked due to unpaid financial obligations:
-
You must pay the outstanding balance.
-
A $300 Program Activation Fee is required to reactivate your account.
Summary
-
Deferred enrollments pause payments until the following active semester.
-
Leave of absence requires completion of current semester payments.
-
Declined payments result in account lock.
-
Reactivation requires full payment plus a $300 Program Activation Fee.
