Because e-mail is the official means of communication for Temple University, the Bursar’s Office issues balance due notifications by e-mail to students and their Authorized Payers when there is a balance due on the student account for currently registered students. Paper bills are not mailed.
The email notifications are sent from [click-for-email] to a student’s official Temple University e-mail account and the e-mail account of the Authorized Payer in TUpay (Temple University’s online student account and payment system).
Periodic balance due notifications will be begin based on the chart below. If you are registered at the time of the scheduled notification and owe a balance, you will receive your balance due notification on that date. Newly registered students are sent the balance due notification on the Monday following their initial registration date.

The total account balance is due for the semester by the due date listed in the above chart. For the fall and spring semesters, students that do not pay the total account balance by the due date will be automatically enrolled in the University’s Deferred Payment Plan and assessed a $50 non-refundable payment plan fee. The Deferred Payment Plan provides additional time to pay your balance. The Deferred Payment Plan is not offered in the summer semesters. The final due date for payment plan participants for the fall and spring semesters is listed below:
Term | Final Due Date for Payment Plan Participants |

Students that do not pay the total account balance by the final due date will be assessed a $100 late payment fee and have a financial hold placed on their student account. The financial hold will restrict University services, such as future semester registration and potential issuance of transcripts.
