We know that sometimes the amount that appears on your account may not be the amount on which you need to make payments. In order to allow you more flexibility, you can make changes to your plan amount. 

You need to complete the enrollment in the payment plan and pay the enrollment fee first. Once you have completed the enrollment, you can log in to the payment plan and change your plan amount as needed. Look for the “Adjust Balance” link on the Profile Details page. Enter the correct amount and Submit. Be sure to review the Student Account in Self Service to ensure the payment plan total will cover the account balance. Changes to the student account during the semester will not automatically update your plan. Previous term balances or credits will not be included in the new semester payment plan. You may need to add or deduct that amount after completing enrollment. 

Please keep a record for your files for future reference as to why you reduced or increased the payment amount.
