Short explanations of the choices on a bursar bill. They are general information, not tax or financial advice.

• Paying tuition with a credit card

  When a rewards rate beats a 2–3% school fee, and when it does not.

• 529 reimbursement timing

  Pay the bursar, then reimburse yourself from a 529 in the same calendar year.

• Payment plans versus loans

  A semester plan fee is not the same product as a student loan.
