Making Your Tuition Payment
Continuing Education students have the option of making payment through Continuing Education directly at the CE office in 128 Outreach Building, or through eLion. Penn State offers a 3-payment deferred plan and a 10-payment plan to assist all students with paying educational costs.
Penn State's deferred payment plan allows students to defer payment of 2/3 of their tuition bill. This plan allows you to pay over a period of three months with payments of 1/3 of the semester charges. The first 1/3 of tuition, fees, and room and board (if applicable) is payable by the due date of the tuition bill, and the remaining 2/3 is payable over the subsequent two months. There is a $45 fee to use this plan, payable with the first 1/3 payment. For more information, please see Penn State's Deferred Payment Plan.
The TMS Lion-Pay monthly payment plan is a 10-payment tuition payment option in partnership with Tuition Management Systems (TMS). This TMS Lion-Pay monthly payment plan is an interest-free monthly payment option. The plan is available for a small annual or semester enrollment fee. For costs and schedules or to enroll, call 888-210-5765 or go to www.afford.com/psu.
