Payment Plans
Enroll in SUPP and divide each semester's tuition and other expenses into up to five monthly payments (fewer months for late enrollment) over the course of the semester. You have the flexibility to enroll in a budget that is comfortable for you. The enrollment fee for the plan is $40 or $50 based on the payment plan you enroll in.
Payment plans will be limited to one plan per student. Authorized users may set up a payment plan for their students. To be set up as an Authorized user please review our instructions.
SUPP is offered in the fall and spring semesters only for each academic year. You have to sign up for the plan every semester. Fall plans begin in June and end in November and Spring plans begin in December and end in April. The first installment is due at sign up along with the enrollment fee. Payment plans are not available for the summer sessions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who can set up a plan?
Students or authorized users can set up one plan per semester. If your parent/guardian pays your Suffolk bills, then they should set up the plan. Students must set up a parent/guardian as an authorized user before they can set up the plan. Authorized users can log into your account, set up payment plans, schedule and make payments. For instructions on setting up authorized users, please refer to our SU Pay instructions.
*If an authorized user enrolls you in the plan, you can see it, but the authorized user must make the payments. For example, if you already sign up for a plan, your parents cannot sign up for another plan within the same semester. Also, students cannot make payments toward an authorized user’s plan.
What payment methods are accepted?
SUPP accepts ACH (Online check) from your checking and savings account and the following major credit cards (American Express, Visa, MasterCard, and Discover). Note: credit card payments incur additional 2.95% processing fee.

What happens if I miss an installment payment?
If an installment is late or missed, the account will be assessed a $70 late fee. Two consecutive missed payments will result in the termination of the payment plan.
