Personal Deferment Option (Installment Plan)

The Personal Deferment Option (PDO) is available to students whose bursar accounts are in good standing. PDO, if offered, allows current term fees to be paid in multiple installments, depending on when the student registers for classes.  If eligible, both a Total Due and Minimum Due amount will be indicated on your bill.  To elect PDO, the exact amount in the Minimum Due field on your bill must be paid by the due date.  It is payment of the exact Minimum Due that indicates you are participating in PDO and want to defer a portion of your balance until the next billing cycle.  If an amount other than the exact Minimum Due is paid, you are telling us that you have no intention of participating in PDO for that billing cycle.  In that case, you would be expected to pay the Total Due on your bill to keep your bursar account in good standing and not incur a late payment fee.  PDO is not offered on a past due balance.  Late payment fees are not waived and PDO is not reinstated for students who do not pay one of the two stated amounts on their bill.

Below is a list of due dates* and approximate deferment percentages by term.
