- Payment should be made by credit card or check and is due with enrollment.
Extended Tuition: Four (4) monthly installments of $1400.
- These amounts are charged to your credit card, PayPal account, or paid via electronic bank transfer. The first charge is processed as of the day of your enrollment. The subsequent three charges are processed on the same date of the months following the date of your enrollment.
