Payment Plans

Payment Plan

Paying for college doesn’t have to happen all at once. Pima’s payment plans let you spread out your tuition and fees into manageable monthly payments, so you can focus on your classes instead of a high upfront cost.

A Flexible Way to Pay

With a payment plan, you can secure your classes and pay your balance over time. You’ll also have flexibility in when you make your down payment, as long as it’s completed by the payment deadline.

This means you can choose a timeline that works best for your budget.

How It Works

To enroll in a payment plan:

• Charges must appear on your student account before you enroll
• Make a down payment to secure your registration
• Pay the remaining balance in scheduled installments
• Manage your plan through MyAccountManager in MyPima

A one-time $10 non-refundable enrollment fee applies.

Payment Plan Options

You can choose the plan that best fits your schedule and payment preferences. 

Traditional Semester Payment Plan

This option is best if you register for classes early in the enrollment period.

• Make your down payment by the payment deadline
• Spread the remaining balance across multiple monthly payments
• Choose when to make your down payment within the enrollment window
• Provides more time and flexibility for payments

Flexible Late Enrollment Payment Plan

This option is available after the 1st payment deadline.

• Pay one-third (33.34%) of your balance as a down payment
• Split the remaining balance into two equal payments

This plan works well if you are enrolling for classes closer to the start of the term. 

Payment Plan Features

These plans are designed to give you more control and predictability.

What’s New

• Make a down payment to secure your classes
• Pay equal monthly installments after your down payment
• Follow set payment due dates to help you plan ahead
• Choose when to make your down payment within the allowed timeframe

Why This Matters

You are not required to pay your full balance right away.

With a payment plan, you can:

• Enroll early to secure your classes
• Choose when to make your down payment before the deadline
• Plan your finances with consistent payment amounts

This provides a more predictable, manageable way to pay for your tuition.

Important Details

• A one-time $10 non-refundable enrollment fee applies.
• Payment amounts adjust automatically if you add or drop classes
• Late or missed payments may result in a $25 fee
• Some charges are not included, such as bookstore purchases or prior balances
• International tuition is not eligible for payment plans
• Unpaid registrations may be dropped

Using Financial Aid

If you’re receiving financial aid, you may not need a payment plan.
