#### <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Pay Anytime</span>

- Payments can be made at any time and in any amount as long as the installment amount is paid in full before or on the installment due date. 
    - Example: If your first installment is $500.00 and due on 5/31, you can pay $100 on 5/15, $200 on 5/20, and $200 on 5/31.

#### <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Schedule Automatic Payments</span>

- Installments can be scheduled to automatically draft from a bank account or charge a credit/debit card.

---

#### <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Automatically Adjusts</span>

- Payment dates automatically adjust if students enroll after the first payment date. 
    - Example: The plan's first installment date was 7/31, but you signed up on 8/16. The payment amounts will equally divide out amongst the remaining plan dates.
- Payment amounts automatically adjust as charges/payments are posted to the student account.
- If a student is receiving financial aid, they can sign up for a payment plan before or after aid posts. Once aid posts to the student account, the installment amounts will adjust.

#### <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Fees</span>

- A $40.00 installment fee is due at the time of enrollment.
- Late fees are automatically assessed 5 days after each missed payment.
