SNHU Payment Plan Options for Full-Time Day Students

  • Semester Balance In Full: Balance is paid to Southern New Hampshire University (ex: cash, check, credit card, approved Parent PLUS loan, other alternative loan or any combination that pays the net semester's balance in full). Payments must be received in Student Administrative Services office by the due dates shown on the statements. Outstanding balances are subject to finance charges of 18 percent per annum.

  • Monthly Payment Option: Payments are made to Tuition Management Services (TMS located at www.afford.com/snhu). An enrollment fee is necessary to open a payment plan contract. Finance charges will not be assessed on your Southern New Hampshire University account as long as you remain current with all payments to TMS. It is your responsibility to verify that your payment plan contract matches the amount owed to Southern New Hampshire University. Contact the Bursar's Office at any time if you need a recalculation of the amount owed, due to changes in your financial award, new loan approvals, etc. You are responsible to settle any balance due to Southern New Hampshire University immediately at the end of the contract.
