Tuition Management Systems (TMS)
Facts You Need To Know

Who is eligible for the payment plan?
Students who owe a minimum tuition balance of $100 or more for the upcoming term and who do not owe the College a balance from a previous term.

How do I set up a payment plan?
There are two options to setup a payment plan:

Option 1:  Call Toll free 1-800-356-8329
Option 2:  Enroll online at www.afford.com/yorktech

Payment Plan Options:

5- Monthly payments (This plan covers one term and is assessed a non-refundable fee of $40 to enroll)

10-Monthly payments (This plan covers two terms (Fall & Spring) and is assessed a non-refundable fee of $55 to enroll).  This plan is convenient and cost effective for students who plan on attending both terms (The budget is based on your fall enrollment- if you enroll full-time for fall semester the plan assumes that you will be full-time for spring semester.  Multiply Your Fall charges by two and that will give you your budget for the two terms).

4-pay/or 3pay (These plans are available for second mini-session students)

Can I mail my payments? Yes.

What are my Student Responsibilities?

·    When setting up your payment plan you MUST use your 7-digit student ID number  (To insure that your account is properly credit for all payments you make to TMS, it is extremely important that you are 100% accurate that you have provided TMS with the correct student ID number)

·    The College reserves the right to adjust your TMS payment plan to insure that your plan is set up sufficiently to cover your tuition and fees.

·    Your plan MUST be set up sufficiently to cover all tuition costs (you cannot deduct financial aid awards if you have a pending status & books are not covered under the tuition payment plan).

What are the terms and conditions of the payment plans?

·    You MUST pay your enrollment fee and the first payment upon enrolling in a payment plan (Your classes will not be protected if you have not paid BOTH your enrollment fee and first payment)

·   ALL plans MUST be setup in accordance to the deadline dates established by York Technical College.  Payment deadline dates:  If the payment deadline falls on a Friday, students will have until 5pm that day to setup payment plans.  If the payment deadline falls on Mon- Thurs., students will have until 7 pm to setup payment plan.

In the cases below, TMS will notify the YTC Plan Administrator of your request to obtain an approval to make the requested adjustments.

What should I do if I receive financial aid?

·    If you are awarded financial aid (full tuition coverage/or partial coverage) the student is responsible for contacting TMS and requesting a plan withdrawal for full coverage tuition aid, or a budget adjustment for partial aid.

·    If you withdraw from school- you are responsible for notifying TMS that you are no longer attending.
