For all students paying for self-enrolled classes, payment is due within twenty-four hours of enrollment. If payment is not received within two hours, you will be dropped from the class for nonpayment.

For all students enrolled in Tseng College cohort programs, payment is due the day prior to the start of term.

Before You Begin

When paying on a laptop or desktop, you MUST allow Pop-up's in order to complete the payment process successfully. If Pop-up's are not allowed at least temporarily, you will not be able to pay. Once the enrollment and payment processes are complete, you may readjust the browser to block Pop Up's.

  • On your computer browser, go to "Tools." Select the "Pop Up Blocker" section, and ALLOW POP UP's. If this is not done, you will NOT be able to complete your payment through Transact.
