Undergraduate Monthly Payment Plan
Tufts offers a Monthly Payment Plan through a third-party vendor to help families budget their semester college costs and minimize their borrowing. The plan has no interest or finance charges. The fall semester plan runs from July to November and the spring semester plan runs from December to April, with payments due on the 15th of each month. An application fee is due when you enroll for the semester.
Enrollment Deadline
If your family wishes to use the fall semester Monthly Payment Plan, you can enroll on July 1st and the first payment is due on July 15th. Late enrollment for the fall semester plan is available until August 31st. Payment for any unpaid past month is due upon enrollment in the monthly plan.
For the spring semester, you can enroll on November 1st and the first payment is due on December 15th. Late enrollment for the spring semester plan is available until January 15th. Payment for any unpaid past month is due upon enrollment in the monthly plan.
We recommend that you enroll as early as possible, using an estimated plan amount if necessary. There is no fee for adjusting the semester plan amount.
Setting the Plan Amount
Please note that when you enroll in the Monthly Payment Plan, you will be prompted to select a plan amount that for that semester. Please note that the payment plan company does not have access to your eBill, financial aid, loan request, outside aid, or other information about your resources. You must determine the correct plan amount to cover the balance due on your bill each semester.
To help calculate your plan amount, we suggest using the Student Account Calculator, an interactive tool that allows you to estimate the semester bill balances in advance. The Calculator is typically updated with actual figures for the upcoming year early in June after the Board of Trustees confirms the costs in the spring.
