Payment Options

Pitzer College offer two payment plans that enable our students and parents to pay for tuition and fees.

  • Pay Pitzer College in full before the start of each semester, or
  • Enroll in the interest-free Tuition Management Systems payment plan and select either a 10 or 12-month payment period. This plan is available to all families, regardless of financial need.

Use the Budget and Estimating Cost Sheet, in STEP THREE of the enrollment process, which includes the estimated Pitzer College charges for the current academic year.
