Admissions Application Fee:
- The application fee is reviewed annually and may change. The amount due is the application fee rate that is current at the time payment is being made.
- If you intend to take the COMPASS Assessment, we strongly encourage you to pay the Admission Application Fee before the Compass Assessment Fee. Doing so makes you eligible for a discounted Compass Assessment Fee.
- General students ~ $17.00 non-refundable fee. Please allow 2 business days for your student record to reflect your payment. High School Programs participants pay on site. All other students may pay online, in person or by mail to Cashiering.
