Payment Plans

Payment Plan Information

Charter Oak offers semester based payment plans. There is a Plan set-up fee of $45.00 and the first payment plus set-up fee is due on enrollment. 

 

Course additions or other changes to student account balances during the semester will automatically update the remaining payment amounts.

 

Students who are delinquent on an installment payment will be charged a $20 late fee.

 

*Returned payments are considered late installments and are treated as such. 

 

Students are encouraged to enroll as early as possible in order to maximize the number of available installments.
