Agree that it’s best to contact the individual school. For our kids, there was an option to make payment through a payment plan each semester for $50/term. This allowed payments to be spread out over 5 payments instead of a lump sum and was helpful to us. There was no additional charge to use a credit card, including one that gave us cash back, so that was how we generally paid. The particular payment plan we used also allowed us to put campus housing on the payment plan. All of this helped us spread out the payments more instead of a huge lump sum.

The individual schools are great at answering the specific questions on form of payment, as they all differ.
