Student accounts are maintained by the Student Accounts Office, located in the Room 122M. Payments for supplies or items purchased on campus, tickets for student events, and other activities on campus are also taken at the Student Accounts Office.

All students must be financially cleared by July 15th for the Fall Semester, and December 15th for the Spring Semester. Late fees will be assessed if not cleared by these dates. Financially cleared means tuition and fees paid in full, or you are enrolled in a monthly payment plan, or you have secured enough financial aid to cover your entire student account balance. Payment may be made online at my.cia.edu (student must grant parental access via FERPA permissions) with Mastercard, Visa or Discover (convenience fees are added) or via ACH (no added fees). Paper checks may be sent to The Cleveland Institute of Art at 11610 Euclid Ave. Cleveland, OH 44106.

An updated schedule of all tuition and fees is located at cia.edu/tuition.

A “hold” on the release of grades or transcripts is placed on any student’s account that shows an unpaid tuition balance or unpaid debts to any College department or CWRU department from which CIA students or the College receives services that are unpaid at the end of each semester. For detailed information on tuition and fee payments or questions about your account, please see the Student Accounts Administrator.

You may also participate in a payment plan to spread your tuition and fee payments throughout the semester. See details on this option by going to your Transact Portal that you access through your my.cia.edu account.
