Pay Online with a Checking or Savings Account
Paying your bill by your Bank Account (electronic check) is fast, easy, and free. To pay by eCheck you need two pieces of information: your account number and your U.S. bank’s nine-digit routing number.
On a paper check, your account number is found on the bottom of the check and can vary in length. Your account number is the number you use when you make a deposit into your account.
Your bank’s routing number is found to the left of the account number. If you don’t have access to a paper check or you’re paying from a savings account, ask your bank for its nine-digit routing number.
For more details on how to make a payment, follow the instructions on the How to Make a Payment Guide.
Pay online with credit or debit card
You can pay your bill online with a credit or debit card, but be aware that you’ll be charged a nonrefundable service fee of 3.0% for domestic cards and 4.25% for international cards each time. To avoid paying a service charge, pay online by electronic check instead.
The service fee for online credit or debit card payment is collected by the online payment service, not by Tiffin University, so it won’t be posted to your student account. Tiffin University does not receive any part of the service fee and cannot waive it. You are responsible for paying the entire service fee.
You can pay with your credit or debit card online only. We do not accept credit or debit cards in person.

Use college 529 savings plan
If you’re paying for college with a 529 college savings plan, your plan provider should send the funds directly to you. After you receive the funds, you can make a payment online using our eCheck option.
If your 529 college savings plan cannot send the funds directly to you, they can mail a check to us or you can make an online payment using the 529 plan.
Instruct your plan provider to make the check payable to Tiffin University and to include your first and last names and your University ID number. Have them mail your check to:

Tuition & Fees
Tiffin University is one of the most affordable private colleges in Ohio. How can this be true? It’s simple. We offer a whole host of ways our students can reduce costs and still gain the benefits of small classes taught by high-caliber faculty.
Past Due Balances
If your student account is past due and you owe more than $500 in the summer and fall semesters, and/or you owe more than $200 in the spring semester a financial hold will be placed on your account. This means that you are denied certain University services such as registering for classes, and getting your diploma. Once you pay the balance, then your financial hold will be removed.
Add a Parent or Third-Party to view/pay bill
To allow someone else to access your TU account, follow instructions in the How to Set Up an Authorized User Guide.
For those logging in as an Authorized User, follow the instructions in the How to Login as an Authorized User Guide.
The new user does not have to be a parent; it can be anyone you want to give access to your account.
We recommend this to students who have a parent/guardian or other individual making payments towards the account. The user will have access to financial information only. They will NOT be able to see grades.
Employer Reimbursement
Tiffin University is proud to offer a deferral program for those students with employer reimbursement.
A student must fill out Deferred Payment Application and email the application along with the Employer Reimbursement Policy to the student accounts email studentaccounts@tiffin.edu. This process must be completed each semester before the balance due dates.
