Lowest known school fee
Payment plan
$35 extra
On a $14,892 reference bill (in-state tuition published by College Scorecard). Semester plan enrollment fee. This spreads the bill; it is not a loan, and it does not include a card fee on each installment.
The plan is the lowest known fee only if installments are paid without a separate card fee. E-check is often fee-free, and we have not verified it here. If the bursar does not charge for it, that would cost less than the option above.
Last checked Oct 18, 2026 by PayTheBursar. A blank is not a zero. Confirm with the bursar before you pay.
Ways to pay
Extra cost above the tuition charge on the reference bill. Rewards are personal, so they are in the calculator rather than this ranking.

529 tip
A common approach is to pay the bursar from a bank account, then reimburse yourself from a 529 in the same calendar year. Qualified tuition and required fees can count. The same dollars should not also be used for the American Opportunity Tax Credit, and state plans differ. This is general information, not tax advice.
Published card fee used here: 2.75%.

Student loans
Compare private student loan rates
A loan is a different product from a payment plan: interest, a credit check, and a repayment term that lasts years. Compare it only if the term's bill will not fit a plan.
CredibleRefinance
See if refinancing an existing student loan lowers the rate
Refinancing replaces a loan you already have. It does not pay this term's tuition bill, and federal loans lose federal protections if you refinance them.
Splash FinancialCredit card
A rewards card, only if you pay it off
Rewards can beat a school card fee only when you pay the statement in full. Carrying the tuition balance is usually more expensive than any points.
Credit card partner link is not configured yet.
Tuition insurance
Tuition insurance if a withdrawal is the risk you are insuring
This is optional coverage for money you could lose if a student withdraws, not a way to reduce the fee on a normal payment.
