726.4The Vice President for Finance, or his or her designee, shall approve the application if the student meets the requirements of §726.1.

 

726.5Students who are approved for the Tuition Installment Plan shall pay, at the time of registration, one half (1/2) of the tuition and all applicable fees.

 

726.6Students whose applications for the Tuition Installment Plan are approved shall execute, at the time of registration, a promissory note payable sixty (60) days after the first day of classes for the balance of tuition owed.

(b)The student's name shall be placed on the suspended list and the student shall be barred from registering until full payment is made;
