COMPLETE UPON ARRIVAL TO DC

• Sufficient funds to pay in full tuition, fees, textbooks, supplies, and living expenses for one fifteen-week semester. Here are the following ways to pay for your bill:
  • Pay online through Flywire (a global payment platform)
  • U.S checks (checks from a U.S. bank)
  • U.S. dollars
• Once your bill is paid for the semester, you will be registered with SEVIS for that semester.
• Billing statements are due each semester.

Payment options may be available after the first year at Defiance College. Please note that your funds must be proven to match the amount of your college bills. It is very unlikely that income from part-time work will fund your education.
