Payment Options and Procedures
Payment Options and Procedures
Payment Options
Past balances must be paid before a new term can be started. Payment options are outlined below. A $100 service charge applies to payment plan and company tuition reimbursement options per term.
Payment in Full
If a student chooses to pay in full, payment is due on or before the first night of each term.
Payment Plan
This plan requires a down payment of 25 percent (one-fourth) of the total charges for tuition, books, and fees on the first night of each term. The remaining balance is due over the next four consecutive months.
Company Tuition Reimbursement
Students whose employers pay partial or full tuition and fees must:
- Indicate "Company Reimbursement" on their registration.
- Submit a letter of specific eligibility (each academic year).
- Submit a copy of the company policy indicating conditions for payment (once per academic year).
Payment with Loans
If a student is using Stafford Loans to pay for their program, a Free
Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) must be on file, along with
all other necessary documents, prior to the first night of each term. If the
FAFSA has not been filed, the student will be required to pay the 20 percent
down for that term.
Procedures for Payment
Unless otherwise noted, payment of tuition and fees is due by the first class session. The method of payment is based on the option selected on the Registration Billing Form. Payments may be made by check or money order made payable to Azusa Pacific University (APU). APU no longer accepts student account payments by credit card. However, as a convenience to students and authorized payers, APU has contracted with a third party vendor, CASHNet, which accepts MasterCard, Discover, and American Express credit card payments online. Students will be charged each term for the full amount of the term. If a student is applying for federal loans or using their company’s reimbursement plan, they may submit the proper paperwork in lieu of payment.
Payment plans may be arranged on an individual basis by contacting the CAPS Office of Student Financial Services. Students interested in payment arrangements should contact the CAPS Office of Student Financial Services at least two weeks prior to the start of the term. New terms may not be started until the previous terms are paid in full, or payment is secured by verified loans or company reimbursement. Tuition for APU courses outside of the Adult and Professional Studies Program must be paid in full before registering for the course. Proof of payment must be provided to the CAPS Student Financial Services in order to register.
Payments may be made in person or mailed to:
Center for Adult and Professional Studies
Azusa Pacific University
PO Box 7000
Azusa, CA 91702-7000
The university will not accept third-party checks. Returned checks are subject to a $30 fee.
The university reserves the right to require either cash or cashier's check payments for any student whose account reflects a prior history of dishonored checks and/or rejected credit card payments. Cash payments cannot be accepted in the Center for Adult and Professional Studies office due to federal regulations. Cash payments can be made at the cashier on East Campus or in the Graduate Center at the Administration West Building.
