For all of our programs, a full payment of application fees and either the first payment of an approved installment plan or full tuition payment is required before we process your application. If you have an outstanding balance from a previous CTY program, any payments you make will be applied to it first—meaning it must be paid off before we can process your application. You can view and pay your current balance in MyCTY.


Payment Plans 

To pay for your online course via a payment plan, select the payment plan option when completing the online programs application. Payment plans are available for any online course. If you choose the payment plan option, 50% of payment is due at the time you submit your application. The remaining 50% balance is due either: 

  • 2 days before the course start date if you submit your application more than 30 days before the course start date. 
  • 2 weeks after the course start date if you submit your application 30 days or less before the course start date.  
There is no fee for setting up a payment plan.
