Payment, except during the first semester, is due at the time of registration. You may use cash, a credit or debit card, a personal check (from a U.S. bank), Money Order or traveler's checks (in U.S. dollars)
It is important for students to bring enough U.S. dollars to pay for the first semester fees, books, medical insurance and the first few months of living expenses (rent, meals etc.)
For your own safety and protection, please remember to safeguard your money, passport and personal belongings.
