Step 12: Review Your Online Fall Term Bill
Deadline: July 20
Contact: Bursar - 410-704-2100 or 1-888-5-BURSAR |
The To-Do List information below is for students entering fall 2011. Information for students entering fall 2012 will be available in mid-April.
The Bursar’s Office distributes all tuition bills electronically through an e-bill
system. Here’s how it works:
- When tuition bills are ready each term, students receive an e-mail on their
NetID account instructing them to view their bill at the e-bill website.
To access this website, visit http://students.towson.edu; click Towson
Online Services; log in; click Self Service; click Student Center; and
under Finances, click View eBill.
- Students can grant restricted access to parents, guardians, employers or
other third parties to view or pay tuition bills. To do so, students go to
http://students.towson.edu; click Towson Online Services; log in; click
Self Service; click Student Center; and click eBill/Pymt-Add Users.
This directs students to TU’s e-bill and payment system. From there, click
Authorized Users, then Add an Authorized User, and enter the e-mail
address of the person to whom access is being granted. The person will
receive an e-mail asking them to create a username and password to
establish access to the e-bill and payment system.
- Bill payments can be made online, in person at the Bursar’s Office or
through the mail.
For more information about billing, tuition and fees, visit the Bursar’s Office
website or call the Bursar’s Office at 410-704-
2100 or 1-888-5-BURSAR.
Step 20: Pay Tuition Bill
Deadline: September 9
Contact: Bursar - 410-704-2100 or 1-888-5-BURSAR |
Tuition and Billing Information
Information pertaining to tuition, fees and billing can be found on the Bursar’s website.
Payment Options
- Cash: The Bursar’s Office Payment and Rebate Check Disbursement Center is open 8:30 a.m.– 4 p.m.,
Monday–Friday, and is located on the third floor of the Enrollment Services Center.
- Check: Please make checks payable to Towson University and include the student’s TU ID number on
the front of the check.
- Web payments: You may make payment by ACH electronic transfer
online at http://students.towson.edu. To make a payment online: click
Towson Online Services; log in; click Self Service; click Student
Center; under Finances, click Make A Payment. You will be directed
to TU’s e-bill and payment system. Click Payments and continue with
the payment process. If any Web payment option is selected,
full payment is required. You may make a credit card payment
via the Web. The Bursar’s Office does not accept in-person
or mailed credit card payments. All bill payments with a credit
card are processed by a third-party vendor online, and are assessed a
2.75 percent convenience fee (minimum $3) on the payment amount.
Discover, MasterCard and American Express credit cards can be used
for tuition, fees, room, dining plans and other charges.
- Tuition Deferred Payment Plan: The university offers a Tuition
Deferred Payment Plan that extends to students a monthly budget plan for meeting the cost of tuition, university fees, and on-campus housing and meals each term. Some student housing facilities (listed
below) are privately operated, and rent is not included as part of
the university’s term billing. Rent payments for these facilities—
Millennium Hall, and Paca and Tubman Houses—are to be paid to Capstone Management and therefore cannot be included in a
deferred payment plan. For more information about the university’s
deferred payment plan options, visit the Bursar’s Office website or call the Bursar’s Office at 410-704-
2100 or 1-888-5-BURSAR.
Late Fee
Bill payment must be received by the due date to avoid a late fee. A
late fee of $75 will be assessed to the student’s financial term account
if charges are paid after the scheduled bill payment due date, which
appears on the bill.
Rebate Checks
If your financial aid award exceeds all charges for the term, you will
be issued a rebate check. You will be notified through your TU e-mail
address if you have been issued a rebate check. You will be required to
visit the Bursar’s Office in person with your TU ID or driver’s license to
pick up your check.
Rebate checks cannot be disbursed prior to 10 days before the start of
each term. Rebate checks will only be disbursed from the Bursar’s Office
Payment and Rebate Check Disbursement Center, 8:30 a.m.-4 p.m.,
Monday-Friday, on the third floor of the Enrollment Services Center.
Refund Checks
If there is a credit balance as a result of cash, check or credit card
payment or an adjustment of term charges, the Bursar’s Office will
process a refund. Cash and check refunds are submitted to the Maryland
State Comptroller’s Office. The refund check will be mailed to your
permanent address. Credit card refunds will be credited back to the
original credit card account that was used to satisfy the term charges
and will take place after the drop/add period for that term.
Securing and/or Canceling Your Schedule
If your account balance reflects a credit or zero balance, your class schedule
will be secured for the fall 2011 term. If you choose NOT to attend, YOU
MUST notify the Office of the Registrar by your bill payment due date
to have your class schedule canceled. If you fail to do this, you will be financially responsible for all term charges.
Important: Your Financial Responsibility
You are responsible for paying your tuition and fees by the due date.
E-mails will be sent to your TU account informing you of your bill. It is
your responsibility to access your account on a regular basis. If you require
additional information about tuition and fees, visit the Bursar’s Office
website or call the Bursar’s Office at
410-704-2100 or 1-888-5-BURSAR.
