Continuing Education Payment Options
Deferred Payment
Students whose term tuition exceeds $800 have the option of paying their tuition in two installments: 50% at the time of registration and 50% within 30 days of the start of the semester. A $10 processing fee is charged for this option. All fees must be paid with the first tuition installment. Please note that the balance for deferred payments is due 30 days from the start of the semester, not the start of the course i.e., there is only one due date per semester for all deferred payments. If you are interested in this option, call the School of Art & Design Continuing Education office at (617) 994-4235.
Third Party Billing
Those whose tuition and fees will be paid by a third party (e.g. an employer) must provide a letter of intent or a purchase order from the funding agent at the time of registration. The letter of intent should state that all tuition and fees will be paid unconditionally. This letter allows a student to register; it does not act as a deferment of payment. The University will send the third party an invoice. Full payment of this invoice is due no later than 30 days after the start of the semester. If the third party fails to pay at that time the student is obligated to pay the tuition.
If a company has a tuition reimbursement policy (i.e. the company pays for a course after completion), it is the student’s responsibility to pay the University for all tuition and fees at the time of registration and arrange for personal reimbursement with his/her employer.
Please note: third party billing is a privilege. The School of Art & Design reserves the right to decline this payment option at any time.
