Students can defer the amount related to the current quarter fees and charges (all charges from prior quarters are due immediately) by entering into a Payment Plan with the BARC office. The BARC office currently offers two types of Payment Plans.
General Payment Plan - Winter 2025
If you are not receiving Financial Aid, or if after your Financial Aid is on your account you still have a balance owed, you can enter into a payment plan to pay what you owe in three consecutive monthly installments. Important things to understand about payment plans are:
- You need to enter into a new Payment Plan each quarter
- You must execute that payment plan on or before the Fee Payment deadline of any quarter
- You must complete all of the 3 steps described below to execute a payment plan
