Monthly Payment Plan

Paying Tuition and Fees

Students may have an owing balance after all financial aid, loans, and scholarships have been applied to their student account. Owing balances for each term are due by the date listed below. Owing balances and due dates may also be viewed by reviewing your statements on our online Billing and Payment System. Students may select a monthly payment plan to extend the time needed to pay any owing balance.

Payment Plans

To help families better afford APU’s distinctive education, the university offers payment plans to all traditional undergraduate students currently enrolled in a traditional undergraduate degree program.

Things to Remember

  1. Check your statement every month.
    Payment plans can change after the first statements of the semester are issued in July, December, and April based on activity on a student’s account (i.e. increase or decrease in number of units enrolled in, adding a parking permit, requesting Cougars Bucks, etc.).
  2. Financial aid may change if not enrolled full time.
    Before the Add/Drop deadline (refer to the academic calendar), all financial aid is reflecting full-time enrollment (12-18 units). If a student is not registered full time at this point, their financial aid will be readjusted to reflect enrollment. This will affect the payment plan.

If the semester balance is not paid in full by the last due date, students will not be permitted to register for the next semester. APU realizes that extenuating circumstances may sometimes impact a student’s ability to complete the semester. Depending on the circumstances, if a student stops attending all of his or her classes after the add/drop deadline, it may be classified as a “withdrawal,” “leave of absence,” or “dismissal” from the university.
