Method of Payment
Tuition and fees are due and payable in full prior to and as a condition for registration.
Students preferring to pay semester charges in monthly installments must have payment arrangements completed prior to registration. Financial arrangements may be made with the Business Office and can be reached at 570-208-5830.
Students with a verified tuition-reimbursement benefit from their employers may defer payment of the portion of their tuition covered by the benefit until after the end of the semester, after grades are released. For a copy of the benefit-verification form or for more information about policies concerning tuition-reimbursement benefits, contact the Graduate Division at 570-208-5991.
American Express, MasterCard, Visa and Discover credit cards may also be used for payment. Please note there is a non-refundable convenience fee associate with all card payments.
A satisfactory settlement of all college accounts is required before grades are released, or degrees conferred. Likewise, no request will be honored for transcripts of record, recommendations, or other information concerning academic records unless a student's account has been settled in full.
The College reserves the right, in those instances where a student is deemed to be in serious violation of College policy, to initiate cancellation of the student's registration. If such cancellation occurs after the semester begins, tuition charges will be adjusted accordingly, and a grade of "AW" (Administrative Withdrawal) will be entered on the student's transcript.
