Make a Payment

Pay in Full

Payments can be made in person at the Student Services Center using cash, debit, or check. Checks may also be mailed. Additionally, credit and debit card payments can be made online through Home. The total balance must be paid by the first day of classes for the fall and spring semesters. If the full payment is not made by the first day of classes, you will be automatically enrolled in a four-month administrative payment plan, incurring the $50 payment plan fee for that semester.

Using our payment plans for tuition during the fall, spring, and summer semesters, allows students to pay in monthly installments without interest. Students must enroll in the plan if they do not pay their full tuition by the first day of class for the semester regardless of which session(s) they are enrolled in, or they will be automatically enrolled into the installment payment plan.

Students who are administratively enrolled may have fewer installment due dates. To take full advantage of all available installment due dates, early enrollment is recommended. Payment plans are available once bills are generated, and students with past-due balances are not eligible.

Payments are automatically debited from the payment method on file, and installment amounts may adjust if additional charges, schedule changes, or aid are applied. Monthly reminders are sent before each due date. Enrollment in the plan is required before the payment deadline, and failure to pay may result in being dropped from classes.

Payment Plan Details

Enrollment

• A non-refundable enrollment fee of $50.00 applies.
• Students may enroll in a payment plan as soon as they receive notification that their online semester statement is available.
• If a student has not enrolled in a payment plan or paid in full by the first day of class the semester, they will be automatically enrolled in a payment plan as outlined in the Activity Guide.
• Students with an outstanding balance from a previous semester will not be eligible for a payment plan until that balance is paid in full.

Plan Length

• For the fall and spring semesters, there are four installments available. However, students who are administratively enrolled may have fewer installment due dates. To take full advantage of all available installment due dates, early enrollment is recommended.
• For the summer semester, two installments are available. Late enrollment or administrative enrollment may reduce this to one installment. Even with a single installment, the $50.00 non-refundable enrollment fee still applies. Students who prefer not to pay the enrollment fee with only one installment may choose to pay their tuition in full instead. Please note that any student who is administratively enrolled must pay the enrollment fee, regardless of the number of installments. To take full advantage of all available installment due dates, early enrollment is recommended.

Submitting Payment

• Payments will be automatically debited from the payment method on file on each installment due date. The installment schedule can be found below. 
• Please note a 2.85% convenience fee applies to each credit or debit card transaction.

Yes, the installment payment plan considers any authorized financial aid when calculating your monthly installment amounts. If your financial aid increases or decreases, your monthly installments will automatically adjust accordingly.

Students are strongly encouraged to apply for financial aid and complete all necessary steps as soon as possible. This includes submitting the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), completing Loan Entrance Counseling (LEC), and signing the Master Promissory Note (MPN), along with fulfilling any additional requirements for other types of aid you may be eligible for.

Students have the option to pay in full or enroll in a payment plan by the first day of classes for the semester.

Some students receiving tuition assistance from outside organizations—the CA Department of Rehabilitation (DOR), Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS)—may not be automatically enrolled in a payment plan, depending on the level of assistance they receive and whether APU has been formally notified. However, students remain responsible for ensuring that these payments are received by APU and must still adhere to the terms and conditions outlined in the Promise to Pay and Financial Responsibility Agreement found in the APU Academic Catalog.
