Tufts eBill Electronic Billing and Payment System provides for online ACH payments from both checking and savings accounts. Your eCheck must be in U.S. Dollars ($) and drawn on a United States Bank. Online ACH payments take up to three days to be posted to your student account, so online payments should be initiated at least three business days prior to the due date.
You may save bank account information securely on the Tufts eBill website. Tufts eBill also stores your online payment history for your easy reference for up to 24 months.
Payment by Check
Personal checks, cashier’s checks and money orders should be made payable to TRUSTEES OF TUFTS COLLEGE in U.S. Dollars ($) and drawn on a United States Bank. Post dated checks will not be accepted.

Installment Payments through TuitionPay
As an alternative to, or in addition to borrowing funds, you may choose to participate in the Tuition Pay Semester-Based Annual Plan. Under this plan you may budget all or a portion of your semester tuition over five monthly installments. For the fall semester, you make payments from May 1st through September 1st. For the spring semester, you make payments from October 1st through February 1st. Tuition Pay has a small enrollment fee, but no interest charges. The Plan provides Tuition Protection Coverage, which pays the unpaid balance of the Plan in the event of the death of the billpayer. Tuition Pay will also accept payments by credit card, but a convenience fee will be charged. For more information, you may contact Tuition Pay directly by mail or phone at: Tuition Pay, c/o Sallie Mae Inc., PO Box 813, Swansea, MA, 02777-0801, (800) 635-0120 . Also, see their web address under the “Helpful Links” section.
It is important to be aware when you contact Tuition Pay that there are two Tufts University plans. All Health Sciences Schools must select Tufts University-Boston and use the Semester-based Annual Plan. This plan is only available for those Schools identified on our Health Sciences Home page.
Returned ChecksA returned check fee of $25.00 will be assessed to your student account if a check is returned unpaid by our Bank. A second occurrence will result in a $50.00 fee. In the event of two returned checks, all future payments are required to be in the form of a money order, cashier's check, or cash. These penalties apply to any check deposited by the Bursar's Office that doesn't clear the bank, regardless of the amount or purpose of the check.
