Tuition Payment Plan
Tufts University has partnered with Transact (formerly Cashnet) to offer students a payment plan option. The payment plan allows you to pay tuition in monthly installments instead of one lump sum by splitting each semester bill into five payments. You can sign up on a per semester basis or sign up for both Fall and Spring semesters at once.
The payment plan is interest-free, but Cashnet charges a small application fee. Please note that only use a U.S. checking or savings account can be used toward the payment plan installments. If you enroll after the start date of the plan, you will need to pay any missed monthly payments in full.
Important Dates:
Semester | First Installment | Enrollment Deadline | ||
FALL | July 15 | August 31 | ||
SPRING | December 15 | January 15 |
