FACTS YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT BILLING:

1. Tuition bills are issued according to the billing schedule noted below. Bills notifications are sent to your official Temple e-mail account and bills will be available in TUpay - http://tupay.temple.edu/ (see below on accessing TUpay). Bills can also be e-mailed to your parents or other individuals if you set them up as an authorized payer in TUpay (see below for instructions on how to create an authorized payer). Paper bills are not mailed.
   
   
2. Billing Schedule – If you are registered, three bills are issued for the Fall and Spring semesters. One bill is issued for each Summer semester:
   
   
   1. Fall Semester
      • First bill issued in July – payment due mid-August
      • Second bill issued in August – payment due mid-September
      • Third bill issued in September – payment due mid-October

Your classes will be cancelled if you do not confirm your classes or pay the minimum amount due.
