Summer 2025 Payment Plan Flyers
The summer 2025 payment plan flyer is now available! To order printed copies for your area, please complete a PRM KBOX ticket.
The earlier students sign up for classes and start their payment plan, the more months they will have to spread out their payments. Please use this as an incentive for early registration when talking with students.
If you have any questions, please email Student Accounts or call 217-786-2480 .
