Payment Options

When you are within the enrollment application, you may choose to pay in full or use the Envision payment plan, which allows you to secure your spot for just $499 and then spread the remaining cost of tuition with equal monthly payments. Monthly payments will vary based on the selection of session, optional items, and date in which you enroll. Installment payment plans are available until April 30th. Past this date, applicants are expected to pay the full tuition in one installment.

Additional payment options may be available. Please contact the office of Admissions at (866) 858-5323 to speak with one of our enrollment specialists.

Beginning as soon as February 2024, all credit card payments will incur a 2% processing fee (where allowed by state law). While you’ll still have the option to pay via credit card, you can switch to our ACH payment method to avoid credit card processing fees. With ACH, funds are securely and automatically withdrawn directly from your checking or savings account and can be easily set up within your MyEnvisionExperience.com page.
