Application received prior to July 1: $75 fee

Simple Payment Schedule
As a plan participant, you make 10 equal monthly payments beginning June 1 for the full-year plan. If you are enrolled for only one term, you may select our term-only option with five monthly payment beginning either June 1 for fall or November 1 for spring. Tuition Management Systems sends you a monthly billing statement.
If you enroll in the plans after the start date you must include all back payments with the appropriate enrollment fee. Please see the enrollment fees above.
Establish a Plan for Any Amount
You may use the monthly payment plan to pay any amount up to the total cost of your direct charges. Use the calculator below to help you determine the total amount you owe to Fordham for the upcoming year and the total plan amount. If you choose to enroll in a plan that is less than the total amount owed to Fordham, you must pay the difference directly to Fordham. If you are unsure of the plan amount, you may estimate it. When you know the actual amount, simply call Nelnet/TMS or go online at fordham.afford.com to adjust the plan.
Fordham has the ability to reduce or close plans that create an excess credit on your account.
