Partnering with Tuition Management Systems
A New Way to Manage Student Financial Accounts
Summit University has announced a move to a fresh online billing system, giving you an easier way to access and use student financial accounts.
The partnership with Tuition Management Systems (TMS) provides a safe, secure, and convenient way to make one-time or monthly online payments to a student account whether directly from a savings or checking account, by credit card, or international transfer.
IMPORTANT!
You won’t be able to start classes unless your student account balance is paid in full or enrolled in a semester-based payment plan.
Here's What You Need to Know
When will my bill be available?
The first fall bill is available July 1 for students registered for classes by June 24. The first spring bill is available December 1 for students registered for classes by Nov. 24.
Bills are generated the 1st of every month during the semester for students registered by the 24th of the previous month.
How do I view my e-Bill?
If you are registered for courses, you will receive an “invitation email” (to your SummitU email address). The email will come from Summit University [noreply@afford.com] and prompt you to register for access to the Student Account Center (SAC). Unless you register for access, you will not be able to view your bill.
Once registered, you will be able to log in at www.summitu.afford.com and view your e-bill, make a payment, set up a payment plan, and set up other parties to view your account (such as a parent or spouse).
When is my bill due?
What are my payment options?
Students can satisfy their balance many different ways. Making a single payment in full, obtaining a loan, using funding from an outside source (such as a church or place of employment), or enrolling in a semester-based payment plan are the most common options.
Note: If you are paying your balance with a loan or an outside source, you MUST notify the financial office before your bill’s due date or you will be charged a late fee.
If using a payment plan, you must enroll in the payment plan by your bill’s due date or you will be charged a late fee.
You can make a payment directly from your checking or savings account or by credit card. International payment can be made safely and securely with the best rates by using the Peer Transfer option available through the Student Account Center (SAC).
What happens if I miss a payment/ make a partial payment?
Students who do not pay in full or enroll in a payment plan before their bill’s due date will be charged a $40 late fee and their account will be placed on hold. While on hold a student cannot view their course schedule, register for classes, receive a transcript, or receive a diploma.
If a student misses 2 consecutive payments, they will be charged a $100 default fee and their account will be placed on hold.
If a student enrolls in a payment plan and misses 2 consecutive payments, they will be automatically removed from the plan and charged a $100 default fee. Their account will also be placed on hold. The student will need to re-enroll in the plan.
