The letter must include the company's reimbursement policy and procedures.

Other Financing Options

Deferred payment plans from private agencies provide the opportunity for monthly payments throughout the academic year. Further information on each of these plans is available by contacting the Office of the Bursar. Tuition Management Systems, Inc. (TMS) can be contacted at http://www.afford.com
