Payment Options

Grand View has partnered with PayMyTuition to offer a secure, convenient, and interest-free way to automatically withdraw payments from your banking account or credit card over the course of the semester. The GV payment plan allows students to divide the total amount due from the billing statement into six installments per semester depending on date of enrollment.

A non-refundable enrollment fee of $50 will be assessed. Rollover plans to the next semester will be charged $10. This fee allows for the deferment of tuition throughout the semester and waives late fees on the outstanding balance as long as the account remains in good standing.

Refunds

A credit balance that occurs because of an overage of a Federal Parent Plus loan will be refunded according to the parent’s instructions.
