Deferred Payment Plan

Penn State's deferred payment plan allows students to defer payment of 2/3's of their tuition bill. This plan allows you to pay over a period of three months with payments of 1/3 of the semester charges. The first 1/3 of tuition, fees and room and board (if applicable) is payable by the due date of the tuition bill, and the remaining 2/3's is payable over the subsequent two months. There is a $45 fee to use this plan, payable with the first 1/3 payment. For more information, please see Penn State's Deferred Payment Plan.

Additionally, Penn State is proud to offer a 10-month tuition pre-payment plan in partnership with Tuition Management Systems (TMS). This TMS Lion-Pay monthly payment plan is an interest-free monthly payment option. The plan is available for a small annual or semester enrollment fee.
