How do I figure out how much to budget with TuitionPay?
The comprehensive fee (tuition, fees, room and board) will be available in early spring (around the time of pre-registration for the fall semester). This amount, plus the insurance (unless waived) less any financial aid, if you are a recipient, will determine your yearly TuitionPay contract amount. You may contact TuitionPay as early as April to establish an estimated contract. Please remember to budget with TuitionPay for each semester. By enrolling in the TuitionPay monthly payment plan, your account receives a credit each semester for the amount you contracted for that particular semester. Student and Employee Accounts will credit your student account in advance of you making all of the TuitionPay payments. Although Student and Employee Accounts can provide assistance, you are responsible for determining the contract amount.
For 2008-2009, tuition and fees [not including room and board] for a first-year student is $28,510. This amount with room and board, less any financial aid, if you are a recipient, will determine your yearly TuitionPay contract amount. However, you may contact TuitionPay as early as May to establish an estimated contract. Please remember to budget with TuitionPay for the full academic year. By enrolling in the TuitionPay monthly payment plan, your student account receives a credit each semester for the amount of the semester budget. Student Billing will credit your student account in advance of making all of the TuitionPay payments. Student Billing can provide assistance for determining the contract amount.
