Terms of Agreement: 

  • 12-month employees: Payroll deduction program plan is for one-year (26 installments). Payments are spread out equally over each pay period and cannot be adjusted.
  • 10-month employees: Payroll deduction program plan is for one-year or 26 installments. Payments are spread out equally over each pay period and cannot be adjusted. If your installments are not completed by the end of June they will pause until the employee returns in September, unless payroll checks are received over the summer.
  • Due at the time of purchase: Initial payment, equal to one pay period deduction and a non-refundable $25 processing fee.
  • Rollovers: Employees may choose to do a rollover after at least two initial payroll installments are taken. In a rollover, the remaining balance on the account is added to a new purchase (at least $250 in total). The new total is then spread out equally as described above. Initial payment, equal to one pay period deduction and a non-refundable $25 processing fee are due for each rollover performed.
  • Payments: Payments will be taken out each pay period automatically from payroll checks. If there is not sufficient net pay available for any one cycle, a partial payment will be taken.

If still sufficient funds are not available, the balance is immediately due in full. If this occurs, future participation in the program will be denied.
  • For purchases over $3,000: The largest purchase amount the university will finance is $3,000. If the total purchase price exceeds $3,000 the customer is responsible for putting initial money down into the first payment to not exceed the limit. (ie. The total purchase price is $3,200. The customer will be responsible to pay the first payment, the processing fee, and an additional $200 as to not exceed the limit) The additional amount the customer will pay is indicated on the application form.
