Arrangement for deferred payment of tuition must be made in advance of or during the official registration period. Timely payments of tuition are required for continued participation in the Deferred Payment Plan. Lincoln offers its students the opportunity to pay as you go. With the Deferred Payment Plan, fall and spring semesters are payable in monthly installments. Summer Semester is divided into two payments. There is a minimal $25 service charge per semester for this option, and late payments will be subject to late fees.
