Payment and Financing Options

There are a variety of discounts available for UNC Charlotte Continuing Education Courses and Certificates. To view what discounts are available for a specific program look under 'Potential Price Adjustments' in the section you are interested in attending.

There are many banks and other financial institutions that offer continuing education loans to individuals. UNC Charlotte School of Professional Studies is happy to complete the appropriate paperwork that might be involved in a participant's pursuit of a loan from a lender he or she has identified. Typically, such paperwork will require UNC Charlotte to provide details about the program and to certify that a particular participant is eligible to enroll. In order for us to certify your eligibility, you will need to register for the program and submit the required payment with your registration.

UNC Charlotte is prepared to receive disbursement(s) directly from a lender for the full registration fee, if that is the arrangement a lender makes with a participant; when this occurs, UNC Charlotte will refund to the participant any payments the participant made directly to UNC Charlotte.

For your convenience, we offer this handy ELM Select alternative loan tool that walks you through private educational loan options for continuing education programs.

Reminder: When applying for a loan, please ensure you are choosing the correct school name. Not doing so will create delays in processing.

Non-Loan Programs

The payment plan is currently available for the Meeting and Event Planning Certificate, Medical Coding Specialist Certificate and Paralegal Certificate programs. By signing up for the payment plan you are agreeing to the following policies:

  • A deposit is due upon enrolling.
  • This is a monthly payment plan in which the specified amount will be due starting the day after the first day of class and on that date each month until the full payment has been received.
  • You will set up the payment plan during checkout.
  • This payment plan is structured so that you will have paid in full by the end of the course.
  • This is an auto-draft payment plan. Should your card be declined or expire during the payment plan you will be required to update your card and continue with payments on schedule.
  • If a payment is missed, the past due amount will be due immediately.
  • If payment is not received within 10 business days from the date of the missed payment, you are at risk of being dropped from the program with no refund.
  • UNC Charlotte Continuing Education’s policy states that it will not refund payment after the course start date.
  • If you drop this course before completing it, you will still be responsible for the full course cost. You may either pay that balance in full, or maintain the auto-draft payments.
  • If extenuating circumstances arise, you may submit a request in writing to appeal at ceregistration@uncc.edu attn: J. McCain.
