ETR staff will manually enroll you into the ETR Payment Plan after receiving your ETR Application and your current letter of eligibility. Please read the following agreement carefully before you continue:

I, ETR PARTICIPANT, hereby agree to pay the balance deferred as stated in this agreement in 1 installment payments on or before the due date specified for each installment. I understand that INSTALLMENT AMOUNTS MAY CHANGE over time to account for any new charges, payments, or financial aid adjustments.
