Payment plans are an optional arrangement to make current semester tuition payments more affordable by spreading payments over a period of months. Our payment plans are available to all students, regardless of the number of credits or tuition amount. Payment plans are also an option for students accepting financial aid. CSU offers a variety of interest free payment plans. Wondering which payment plan is right for you? Here’s a quick way to find the best solution.
Remember:
- You must enroll in a payment plan EVERY semester
- Payments are due by the date specified on your CampusNet account
- You can make payments electronically through CampusNet, mail in your payments or make a payment in person at the Cashier's Office (MC115)
- Late or partial payments are assessed a penalty of $25 each month
- If you add or drop classes, the amount of each of your remaining payments will be automatically adjusted
- If you receive financial aid, these monies will apply to the last installment first and work your balance down in reverse order – you may owe only a first payment and not a second, third or fourth.
- Federal regulations prohibit the use of current financial aid for payment of past-due charges
- You must be in good financial standing with Cleveland State to be eligible to participate in a payment plan
- All current semester fees owed to the University are included in the terms of a payment plan. Prior balances CANNOT be included with a current semester payment plan. Each semester's payment plan must be paid in full prior to a student being eligible to participate in a new payment plan.
- The payment plan application constitutes a promissory note for education purposes and your enrollment includes a valid electronic signature. These charges are not dischargeable in bankruptcy. Should this note be placed in the hands of a collection agency or an attorney for collection, or should suit be brought to collect the outstanding balance, the student agrees to pay all costs of collection, including but not limited to, the reasonable fees and cost charged by a collection agency, filing fees, all costs and expenses arising from any suit filed to enforce this note including reasonable attorney's fees.

Please be aware that late fees are assessed 5 days after the start of the term. Enrolling in a payment plan and making a first payment is the only way to avoid a late fee.
