Your tuition is due in full when you register. A payment plan is available to enroll in beginning a month prior to the first day of classes if you are unable to pay your tuition in full at registration. There is a $20 fee to enroll in the payment plan and a $10 Late fee charge if a payment is missed. If you neglect to register for a payment plan, a Deferment fee of $30 will be charged to your student account in addition to $25 per month that your tuition is not paid in full. Refer to the academic calendar for the due dates.

Bills are sent approximately a month before the start of each semester or term. You will receive invoices via the my capitol portal throughout the semester. 

Payments may be made to the Business Office online with a credit or debit card, 529 account, ACH or echeck or by mailing a paper check. We accept cash, checks, money orders, and Visa, Mastercard, Discover and American Express cards. Make any paper checks payable to Capitol Technology University and mail it to the attention of the Business Office. 

If your employer pays your tuition in full, you will need to submit a tuition authorization form from your employer, enabling us to bill them directly. This authorization may be a letter of credit, purchase order, or a federal DD Form 1556 for government agencies.

If your employer offers tuition reimbursement, tuition payments would be your obligation. Per University policy, one third of tuition is due on or before the forst day of class. The remaining two thirds is due no later than 10 days after grades have been posted. Once you have paid your full tuition, we would give you a copy of your account statement, which you would submit to your employer.

The first day of classes is the last day to drop and still receive a full refund. If you anticipate a schedule change, make it prior to your start date.

For an eight-week course, you must drop any courses before the first day of class to receive a 100 percent refund. After the first class, you will receive only a 75 percent refund. Dropping during the second week, you'll get a 50 percent refund; and during the third week, 25 percent. After the third week, no refund will be granted, and you will be responsible for the entire tuition.

For a 16-week course, you must drop any courses before the first day of class to receive a 100 percent refund. You will receive 75 percent within the first two weeks of the semester. Dropping during the third week, you will be refunded 50 percent. The fourth week, you will be granted a 25 percent refund. After the fourth week, you will be responsible for the entire tuition.

Grants from the state of Maryland State or the District of Columbia are usually received about 12 weeks after the start of the semester.

All other finanical aid (Pell grants, SEOG, Perkins loans, etc.) is disbursed during the eighth week of the semester. Refer to the academic calendar for the specific dates of disbursement.
