As a parent of a new student, we are here to serve you and your student. We encourage you to review our website to become familiar with the services that we offer.
Below is a list of ‘to-do’ items for you or to have your student perform:
Students can create parents and/or guardians as an Authorized Payer if they will be responsible for the student account finances. It is a one-time setup and parents and/or guardians will have the Authorized Payer role for the student’s entire time at Temple. Students can create multiple Authorized Payers.
An Authorized Payer has access to the same student account information in TUpay as the student. For example, the Authorized Payer can view the current balance and due date, view student account transactions and make online payments.
Select How to Authorize a Payer for the student instructions to complete the setup.
Have your students sign-up for direct deposit to receive refunds faster and easier. Follow the steps at Enroll in Direct Deposit for the student to complete the process.
If you are taking out a Parent PLUS loan, you can also Enroll in Direct Deposit for Parent PLUS Refunds if you are an Authorized Payer (see step 1).
The 1098-T is an information tax form that will be sent to your student by January 31 each year. Have your student select 1098-T Electronic Delivery to consent to receive the form electronically rather than through the mail.
Select Tuition Calculator to estimate the costs at Temple University.
Select Due Date Schedule to review when balances are due. If you are not able to pay in-full by the due date, review our Payment Plan options.
