Payment Plans

Canisius offers convenient, interest-free monthly payment plans to enable you to more easily afford your education expenses. Instead of having to pay your tuition in full at the beginning of each semester or going into debt, you may budget tuition and fees into monthly payments. This is an alternative to large annual or term payments and helps to limit borrowing. The non-refundable enrollment fee is $50.00 to $75.00 per semester.  Each enrollment is valid for one semester.  Payment plans do not roll over from one term to the next.
