Ìý Paying for College
CIU students can apply for federal grants and loans by filling out the FAFSA. Federal aid will assist with covering the costs associated with the online undergraduate or online graduate programs.
Payment Plans
Not everyone can afford to pay college tuition in one lump sum. That’s why we offer our tuition payment plan, which allows you to pay tuition in interest-free monthly installments. There is no enrollment fee to sign up for the plan, and you must enroll in the plan before your tuition payment is due.
