Installment Payment Plan

TuitionPay Payment Plan Features

  • No interest.
  • Nominal enrollment fee for the annual payment plan and for each semester payment plan. You must be enrolled into the TuitionPay Payment Plan by the date highlighted on the billing calendar. Once you are enrolled, TCNJ will be notified electronically.  It will take up to seven business days to see your payment plan reflected on PAWS.
  • No credit check or co-signer needed (this is NOT a loan).
  • TuitionPay cannot be used to pay for summer term.
  • TuitionPay can be used to pay for fall or spring semester study abroad programs.

Enrollment can be completed by phone (1-800-635-0120), or on the web at (https://tuitionpay.salliemae.com/tcnj).

Note: If a student’s account has previously used the payment plan and been terminated from the plan three or more times TCNJ may, at its discretion, bar participation in the payment plan system in the future.

TuitionPay Plan Shortages

If your TuitionPay contract is not enough to cover your TCNJ bill, you must pay the difference directly to The College by the current TCNJ bill due date as listed on the Billing Calendar.

It is your responsibility to review your TCNJ student account whenever a billing notice is sent.  Billing emails are sent to the student’s TCNJ email and the Auxiliary User’s personal email account.  If your payment plan contract does not cover your TCNJ bill, you may be assessed a late payment fine and/or a registration hold from TCNJ.

Payment plan contracts can be adjusted up to the third payment due date for undergraduate students and the second payment due date for graduate students.  To increase your plan to cover outstanding tuition balances, contact TCNJ’s Payment Plan Representative, Ms. Katie Ryan, at 609-771-3145.

Helpful Hints

Tuition and Fee Rates - The tuition and fee rates for each academic year are announced by The Board of Trustees in July.   Please use the tuition rates from the prior year if the TuitionPay plan is created before the tuition and fee rates are announced. It is the bill payer’s responsibility to adjust the contract after the tuition rates are announced in July to ensure the payment plan meets your needs.  

Auxiliary User E-Mail Notifications - The students can designate an alternate bill payer to receive billing email notifications. This will help manage any contract shortages and may prevent being assessed a late payment fine from TCNJ.
