CHANGE IN PAYMENT POLICY
Change in Installment payment plan policy: We will only accept arrangements to make payments by credit card or automatic withdrawal from checking accounts on a monthly basis until the end of the semester. The reason for this is so we can set up the payments automatically and we don't have to track them manually. A complete list of Student Account Policies can be found at http://www.mbseminary.edu/fresno/finaid/student-accounts.
