Paying for MS CIT Courses
Financial Assistance
There are a number of financial assistance options to help defray the costs of enrolling in a graduate professional program. These include Stafford loans, graduate PLUS loans, military programs, and loans from private lenders. Through myPurdue, you can monitor your financial aid funding and make sure the proper payments are made in a timely fashion.
Installment Plans
If you're enrolling in the fall or spring, you can sign up for a payment plan to avoid making one large payment each semester. The remaining fees will be paid in three equal amounts over the course of the semester. For Summer Session, Module 1 requires 34% at the time of enrollment, and Module 2 requires 50% at the time of enrollment.
Third-Party Payment
If your employer or a tuition assistance program is covering the costs for you, we'll invoice them directly after the last official drop day for students. The third party will also need to send a voucher or written approval, on letterhead, to the Purdue University Bursar, Attn: Heather Holley or fax to (765) 494-6988. The approval must include:
