PAYMENTS

  • Application fee; deposit & tuition
  • For deposit and tuition fees paid by credit card, a 2.5% transaction fee applies. The Application Fee is exempt from this service fee. The transaction fee is charged by the third-party processor, not COSMOS, and is not refundable even if the payment to which it relates is canceled, refunded, credited, or charged back.
  • University banking policy dictates that we assess this transaction fee separately from the deposit and tuition payments. Thus, you will be asked to submit two payments: 1) tuition and/or deposit and 2) the service fee.
  • If you choose to pay by credit card, you must submit both the payment and the service fee before the stated deadlines for your admission to be complete.
  • For check or money order, postmarked by the stated deadline, to:
