Tuition Installment Payment Plan (TIPP)

The TIPP breaks up Tuition Fees (State fees) or Non-Resident Tuition Fee (Out-of-State fees) in monthly installments.

  • California residents: this payment plan will divide tuition, campus fees, and professional program fees (if applicable).
  • The payment plan does not include the Student Involvement Representation Fee (SIRF) and online distance fees, which have a separate payment deadline. See the list of all student fees for more information. 

Financial Aid Recipients:

You may be responsible for an out-of-pocket payment if your financial aid is insufficient to pay the amount due or not disbursed before the payment deadline. Check the Student Homepage to see if the Anticipated Financial Aid award is sufficient to cover the due charges.

Spring 2025 Payment Plan
Last day to enroll through Student Homepage is January 23rd. Plan unavailable after February 4th.
