The Sallie Mae/TuitionPay Plan

TuitionPay, formerly known as AMS, offers an interest-free pre-payment plan that allows students to spread their tuition payments over a five-month period (one month before the semester and four months after the semester begins). Students are charged an $16.75 non-refundable enrollment fee.The payment plan is offered for the current semester only.  Students may not join the payment plan for prior semesters.

Students can enroll in the TuitionPay pre-payment plan by accessing their web site at http://www.tuitionpay.com/cuny. The TuitionPay representatives will be on campus to assist students in enrolling into the pre-payment plan.  For the Spring 2012 semester, representatives will be on campus January 11 - February 1, 2012.

To ensure that student records are updated with TuitionPay plan information and student courses are not dropped for non-payment, TuitionPay will not accept plan information on the web on payment due dates.  On payment due dates, students must contract with TuitionPay on campus.  The TuitionPay representatives are only allowed to accept checks and money orders as payment.  Students may contact TuitionPay with student inquiries at 1-866-267-CUNY.

E-SIMS:

Credit card payments must be made online. Log onto the CUNY portal at www.cuny.edu and choose to either pay your tuition with a MasterCard, Discover, or American Express card.  eCheck payments, which electronically debit either your checking or savings account are also available on the CUNY portal.  After making your online payment, print and save your payment confirmation page.  Students will not receive a validated bursar's receipt.

CUNY has changed its procedure for those students choosing to use credit cards as a method of tuition payment.  Effective August 11, 2008, a non-refundable convenience fee will be charged to your credit card account when paying your tuition with a credit card.  Visa cards will not be accepted and credit card payments will neither be accepted at the Bursar's Office service window .

Also effective August 11, 2008, tuition payments can be made by eCheck.  Your checking or savings account will be debited electronically, without paying a convenience fee.  It is advised that students carefully enter their checking and savings account information to ensure the college receives payment, to avoid reprocessing fees, and loss of checking writing privileges on campus.  If an eCheck payment is returned for any reason, the student's check writing privileges on campus will be revoked.

Drop Box:

For the convenience of students who are unable to transact payment during the regular business hours, payment can be deposited in the Bursar’s Drop Box located in the Public Safety Office. Please do not deposit cash in the drop box.  Receipts for paid parking permits will be returned to the Public Safety Office.  Tuition and fee payment receipts will be mailed to the student's home.

In Person:

Students who wish to make their registration payment in person may do so at the Bursar's Office. The Bursar's Office is located in the Academic Core Building, in room 1H01. All transactions and method of payments (cash, checks, money orders, and third party vouchers) are accepted.

Effective August 11, 2008, credit card payments will not be accepted at the Bursar's Office service window.  Credit cards (MasterCard, Discover, and American Express) will be accepted on eSIMS.  Please note, a non-refundable convenience fee will be charged to your credit card account when paying your tuition with a credit card on eSIMS.
