Tuition Payment Options
Payment in Full
Once you have registered for classes, you can view your tuition and fees balance in Self-Service under the Financial Information tab, located to the left of the screen. Once you click on Financial Information, click on the Student Finance option, and then click on the "Account Activity" drop-down option. Payment in full, including sponsor vouchers if applicable, may be made at any time prior to the fee payment deadline.
Partial Payment
You may pay partial fees, rather than the full amount, up until the fee payment deadline. For more information, visit the Partial Payment FAQ. All fees must be paid in full by the fee payment deadline. For courses registered after the fee payment deadline, fees should be paid the day of registration.
Extended Payment Plan
The Extended Payment Plan allows students to pay part of the total tuition balance in small increments over a specific period of time past the fee payment deadline. Only students in good financial standing with the College and enrolled for the current semester are eligible to participate. Visit the Extended Payment FAQ for additional information.
Payment Deferral
The Payment Deferral Option allows students to pay a payment deferral option charge of $115 by the fee payment deadline and pay the total tuition and fees balance due by a later date in the term. The tuition and fees balance can be paid in one payment or in increments, there is not a fixed payment schedule or required minimum payment.
Third-Party Sponsors
This program is only open to students whose employers have tuition sponsorship agreements with Columbus State.
Some students receive vouchers or payments from a sponsoring company, agency or department. If a third party is paying your fees, register early and initiate the paperwork for your voucher or payment with your sponsor as early as possible. Payments must be received, not postmarked, by the Fee Payment Deadline.
