Does Global Campus offer payment plans for Graduate programs?

The Summer Session is a shorter period and for most programmes the Summer Session is optional. It is not intended that Payment Plan Agreements should be the normal way in which students finance their entire programme. Such agreements are to be made at the discretion of the local Head of the Global Campus Country Site and are used judiciously to assist students who are having specific financial difficulties.
