Money can be a difficult topic to think about. You’re taking a big step investing in yourself with this next degree — it's something to be proud of.
Now, let’s make a plan to tackle the tough stuff. These steps can help you figure out your finances:
1) Pay your tuition and fees before August 20
- Log into Quest to find how much you owe
- Follow the steps if you need to pay
- Submit a promissory note if you'll be receiving funding to help pay your fees
By August 20, you want to be showing as "Fees Arranged" on Quest to avoid a fees arranged extension fee.
2) Apply for funding
