The partial payment plan is a contract with the University. It is a legal document and therefore, you must be 18 years old at the time of signing.  If you are not 18, both you and a parent (or legal guardian)  must sign the document. If a student is 18 or older, the student must sign the contract, the parent may not sign for the student. Sign up at the Business Office in person by the end of the second week of the semester.  Bring a driver’s license or birth certificate or other legal proof of birth date.
