Lowest known school fee

Payment plan

$35 extra

On a $5,016 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 Mar 1, 2023 by the CFPB (award year 2022–23). 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.

  • Credit card, after rewards

    Not verified yet

    Card fee is not verified yet, so the net cost is not verified yet.

  • e-check / ACH

    Not verified yet

    Not verified yet. We do not assume a bank transfer is free.

  • Payment plan

    $35

    Lowest known net cost

    Enrollment fee only. This is not interest, and it assumes installments are not also charged a card fee.

This comparison assumes you pay the card statement in full. Interest on a carried balance usually costs more than any rewards. PayTheBursar does not suggest leaving tuition on a card.

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.

  • 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.

  • Refinance

    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.

  • Credit 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.

  • 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.
