Billing Schedule – If you are registered at the time the first bill is generated, three bills are issued for the Fall and Spring semesters. Newly registered students are billed for the first time on the Monday following their registration with a due date of 8 business days from the issuance of the bill. One bill is issued for each Summer semester:

a) Fall 2012 Semester

First bill issued July 16th – payment due August 8th
Second bill issued August 27th– payment due October 16th
Third bill issued September 24th – payment due October 16th

b) Spring 2013 Semester

First bill issued December 3rd - payment due on January 3rd

Second bill issued January 20th – payment due March 19th

Third bill issued February 25th – payment due March 19th

c) Summer 12 Semesters

First summer session – bill issued April 16th; payment due May 1st
Second summer session – bill issued June 4th; payment due June 19th

Tuition bills are issued according to the billing schedule noted above. Since e-mail is the official means of communication for Temple University, only e-bills are issued unless a student is not currently enrolled and owes a balance. Paper bills will not be mailed. Bills notifications are sent to your official Temple e-mail account and bills will be available in TUpay. Bills can also be e-mailed to your parent or other individuals if you set them up as an authorized payer in TUpay (click here for instructions on how to authorize a payer).

The total amount due must be received by final due date. Failure to pay in full by the final bill due date for the semester will result in the assessment of a $60 late payment fee and a financial hold on your account preventing future semester registration.

The Tuition Payment Options are as follows:

a) Pay the bill in full (pay your total balance by the due date on the first bill of the semester)

b) Temple Deferred Payment Plan – for the first bill of the fall semester and the first bill of the spring semester, students must pay the minimum amount due to avoid having their classes cancelled. Students are automatically enrolled in the deferred payment plan if they are unable to pay the total amount due by the weekend before the semester starts. The payment plan provides students with a grace period until mid-semester to pay the bill in full. The deferred payment plan is only offered in the fall and spring semesters and carries a non-refundable payment plan fee of $25 per semester.

c) Temple Installment Payment Plan (TIPP) (a pre-payment plan operated by Higher Education Services) which allows Temple students to make up to 10 regularly scheduled monthly payments towards their tuition charges.

Tuition payments can be made:

a) On-line via TUpay - You can pay online by electronic check or credit card.
