Thanks, PAYNE1! I did call the college, and they were very pleasant and set me up with a meeting on Monday afternoon to talk to a lady in financial aid. Basically, they said I could pay 1/4 of the cost now, and set up payments afterwards, and still be able to register for classes! Luckily, I can handle 1/4 payment, and make monthly payments, even if it'll mean fewer magazines and chocolates for me for a while.
