Q: How do I determine my Payment Plan budget amount?
A: Simply start with your total education expenses for the upcoming year or semester, and then subtract any grants or financial aid. This is your total budget amount. Next, divide your total budget amount by the number of payments offered in your plan to determine your monthly payment. It's that easy, and there is no approval required for using a payment plan — everyone qualifies!

Q: What should I do if I do not know my total education expenses when enrolling in the Payment Plan?
A: If your costs are not finalized at the time you enroll, simply estimate your budget. Once your costs are finalized, you can then make adjustments to your budget amount.
