You are welcome to pay your school's enrollment fee via check. During the enrollment process, if you select our pay-by-check option you may print a custom invoice for your school. Please note that a $7.50 check handling fee will apply.

Upon receipt of your school's check, we will change your school's status from "awaiting payment" to "enrolled" and send an email confirmation.
