Payment OptionsPuget Sound offers several options for payment of your remaining tuition, fees, room and board after your financial aid is considered. Payment must be made by either cash or check; we cannot accept credit cards.
Option 1: Payment in full
- Payment for each term's remaining balance must be paid in full by the payment deadline.
Option 2: Payment Plan
- This plan allows for extended payment of the remaining balance. Under this plan, the net amount due for the semester plus an $80 payment plan participation fee is divided into five equal monthly payments. Payments are due on the fifth of each month.
Option 3: PLUS or Private Education Loan
- Parents or students may apply for loan funds to help cover all or a portion of the remaining balance. Loans must be applied for and approved prior to the payment deadline.
Payment Plans incur an $80 per-semester participation fee. Each semester’s initial payment is due by the published payment dateline, with ensuing payments due the fifth of each following month (September through December for Fall, and February through May for Spring). A late fee of 1% will be assessed each month for payments not received by the due date.
Student Financial Services provides monthly statements of account to each student. We ask that you review these statements to confirm that payments, scholarships, and loans are accurately reflected on your student account. You may view these statements, as well as other important financial information, on your Cascade Web account.
Credit Balances
If your financial aid is more than the amount needed to cover the charges on your student account, you may request a refund check for the difference between the amount you owe and the amount of financial aid disbursed to your account. Refund checks can be requested as soon as a credit balance appears on your account. Refund checks cannot, however, be released until the first day of the semester. |
