<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I have a question about paying the tuition.
Does the tuition and other expenses (such as room and board) have to be paid at once when the school starts?</p>
<p>Is there anyother way that my parents can pay the tuition (divide up the tuition in 1/5) and pay month by month??</p>
<p>usually your school will have a schedule- I believe the first payment is due generally before school starts
but many schools belong to a plan like tuition management services, and will help you space the payments out to 12 or 10 a year

<p>TMS has been very helpful so far. They send a monthly bill (great so I don't forget) and have a website so I can make sure they received the payment.
This year I opted for the 12 month plan so will have to adjust my budget (they let you do it once per year I think) once I get the exact figure for everything (d is in different housing and different meal plan and of course tuition is rising.).
Cost is $55 per year.</p>
