For Summer 2025, the full program cost must be paid by June 9, 2025. The program fee must be paid within two days of course registration for students enrolling after this date. 

Enrolling students and their parents will receive detailed billing instructions via email two weeks before the payment is due and they can also be found on the Admitted Students webpage. Parents will not be able to pay the balance before mid-May as this is when the University system updates for summer tuition.
