Graduate Tuition Payment Plan

The Graduate Tuition Payment Plan allows students taking graduate courses to break up their tuition costs into two payments made over the course of the term.

Here is how it works: There is a $35 set-up fee to participate in this payment plan

• First payment: 50% of student’s tuition due the first day of Session 1 start date
• Second payment: Remaining 50% of the student’s balance paid on the 25th day of the term.

Important Notes:

• Students register themselves for this payment plan through the University’s online payment system at the end of the online course registration process.
  • Students receiving federal financial aid, military tuition assistance, VA benefits*, corporate tuition assistance or any third-party tuition assistance are not eligible for the payment plan.

*VA Benefit Advisory:

Students enrolled in graduate and nursing courses who use reimbursement-based VA benefits such as Chapter 30, 32, 35, 1606 and 1607 may use this payment plan; payments will be processed on the plan&’s schedule and payment plan installments are not dependent upon enrollment certification processing by Thomas Edison State University or receipt of allowances from the VA.
