Payment Plans

To help students and their families manage the cost of education, the University has made arrangements with Tuition Management Systems (TMS) to offer interest free monthly payment options.

Tuition Management Systems (TMS) offers a Fall, Spring, Summer or Annual Plan payment option of dividing the student account balance into two or three payments (Summer Plan), four, five or six payments (Fall or Spring Plan) or eight, nine or ten payments (Annual Plan). Each plan requires a non-refundable enrollment fee due with the first payment. Tuition and fees are divided into monthly payments; each payment is due by the 15th of each month at TMS.

Students in our off campus programs can click here for a printable worksheet that explains the different payment plan options.

TMS plans can only be established according to the time frame of the particular plan chosen. TMS Payment plans cannot be established for past due balances. This plan will only be approved for current tuition charges.

All payment plan options must be completed one month prior to the student's graduation date.

Students who have defaulted on their TMS payment plans due to non payment in the past will not be entitled to enroll in a payment plan again at the University.

TMS accepts personal checks or money orders, payable to Tuition Management Systems. Monthly payments can be made by credit card with an additional convenience fee. The enrollment fee can be paid with Discover, MasterCard or VISA.

The student must enroll on line at www.afford.com/lesley.

Student account statements are mailed to students who are enrolled in a TMS payment plan in the months of July, August, December, January, April and May, to review their University charges and/or credits.
