Sage offers a payment plan for the fall and spring semesters. The payment plan allows for students and families to spread the cost of attendance over time concurrent with the period of enrollment. The payment plan is not credit based.

The cost to enroll in the payment plan per term is $45.00 (fee). Note: if the tuition payment due date has passed, students will be required to pay plan fee and submit first payment of the payment plan. Students and authorized users can set up a monthly payment plan through the Student Account Payment Center that can be accessed through Self Service.  Features of the payment plan include:

You and your authorized users have anytime, anywhere account access to your payment plan, including real-time balance information. When payments are received — online, in person, or by mail, your account balance reflects that change in real time.
