What is STEPP?
The Student Tuition Easy Payment Plan (STEPP)
program allows you to pay for your education on an interest free
installment plan that makes budgeting the costs easier. Payments are
made in three installments. (Two installments summer quarter.) There
is a nonrefundable $35 enrollment fee.
