Binghamton's Time Payment Plan is designed to assist students and families who may find it difficult to pay the total semester bill by the mail-in deadline date. The total semester bill consists of the educational expenses (tuition, fees, room and board) not covered by financial aid and therefore due directly to the Student Accounts Office.
Terms & Conditions
Eligibility
ALL students who wish to participate in our Time Payment Plan (TPP) are eligible to enroll. Detailed calculations for the Time Payment Plan are automatically pre-calculated on the Semester E-bill on-line. To enroll in the plan, read the terms to the right "Time Payment Plan Agreement" and complete the payment of the initial amount (downpayment). The University reserves the right to deny future payment plan privileges if payments are not made as scheduled.
Cost
The Time Payment Plan is available each semester at a cost of $35.00 per semester of enrollment. This fee is nonrefundable once you have enrolled in the plan.
Contract
If you choose to participate in the plan, you will be required to pay 25% of your total semester bill, including the Time Payment Plan fee, by the bill due date. The remaining 75% may be paid in three equal installments during the semester. [Plan = 4 PAYMENTS for the semester: 25% each]. If you are awarded new or additional financial aid in the form of loans contact the Student Accounts Office to adjust or cancel the contract. If no contact is made late fees will apply.
 
 

Method of Payment
Payments will be accepted in cash (if in person) by e- check, Visa or Mastercard, American Express or Discover Cards. Payment will not be accepted over the telephone.
Adjustments
Installment payments will be automatically adjusted to reflect changes in financial aid, housing or enrollment without prior notice.
Newly Awarded Financial Aid or Scholarhip
Any newly awarded financial aid processed through the student's account will be applied to the contract balance on the account before funds can be refunded.
 
Installment Bills
Installment bill notifications will be sent via email to the student at the email address the student has indicated in his/her "Preferences" in QuikPAY as well as any authorized payer the student has added to their account. Current installments (due date is not passed) will appear under the "Time Payment Plan" section in QuikPAY.

Late Fees
Any installment not received by the due date will result in the account being subject to a $30 LATE FEE and being placed in delinquent status. ONCE THE DUE DATE HAS PASSED THE INSTALLMENT IS CONSIDERED AN OUSTANDING DEBT. This outstanding debt will prohibit participation in advance registration sessions for the upcoming semester until the account has been cleared.

Outstanding Debts

Students who have outstanding debts with the University will not be permitted to complete registration or obtain transcripts until the outstanding debts are satisfied. In addition, debts owed to the University that are not paid on a timely basis will be forwarded to a collection agency or the NYS Attorney General's office for collection and are subject to collection cost, penalties and interest, and the debt is reported to credit bureaus.
