Tuition and Billing Information
Information pertaining to tuition, fees and billing can be found on the Bursar's Office.
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 Towson Online Services.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. You may also 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 spring 2012 term. If you choose NOT to attend, YOU
MUST withdraw from all of your classes online by the end of the drop/add
period.
Important: Your Financial Responsibility
You are responsible for paying your tuition and fees by the due date.
Emails 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.
