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 current balance or the installment amount due must be received by the due date in order to maintain good financial standing with Temple University. If the bill is not paid in full by the last due date for the semester, a hold will be placed on your account and you will not eligible to register for future semesters

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 Easy Payment Plan (TEPP) (pay the bill in up to three installments over the semester) – there is an $11 installment fee associated with each installment.

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.
