The University of Reston offers different installment payment plans to all students who wish to cover the costs of their tuition over time.

Rather than paying a given semester’s tuition fee all in one payment at time of application, students can opt to pay their tuition fees in smaller amounts over two, three- or four-month periods with a non-refundable fee of $50.00 per installment paid.

Participation in installment payment plans is possible beginning in the 2nd semester after a student’s enrolls in the University. However, students intending to pay their tuition in installments are encouraged to inform the University as far in advance as possible so that the school can prepare the funding necessary to support each student financially in this manner.

Student failure to pay any outstanding tuition-related or other fees charged to their account will result in the following consequences until such issues are fully resolved: their account will be placed on academic hold, late payment penalties will accrue, and they will be ineligible to participate in the school’s tuition installment payment plans.
