Tuition Payment Plan

The Sallie Mae Tuition Payment Plan is an interest-free installment which is offered to all students as an alternative in paying for education expenses. It works well for students who can't afford the entire tuition bill at one time or those who want to hold on to the interest-earning savings a little longer. For new enrollments, visit http://www.TuitionPay.com/cuny or call (800) 635-0120 to speak with a TuitionPay consultant. If you have previously used TuitionPay and are in good standing, please log into your TuitionPay account to link a new payment plan for the current term.
