Applying your aid toward your bill

After you have received your aid notification and completed all necessary paperwork, your aid will automatically be displayed on your bill as anticipated payment. (If you're not sure if you have completed all your paperwork to receive your aid, check your "To-do" list on DukeHub).

Monthly payment plan

Duke University partners with Tuition Management Systems (TMS) to allow currently enrolled students and their parents to pay term charges in monthly payments as follows:

Fall balance July 1 – November 1
Spring balance December 1 – April 1

A non-refundable plan enrollment fee of $35 is charged for TMS participation.

As a TMS participant, you will continue to receive billing statements on a regular basis from Duke. This statement should reflect your TMS payments made to date. The balance due on your statement, which includes charges for the current term, must be covered by your remaining scheduled TMS payments for that term. Fall Plan payments made to TMS (July 1 to November 1) must clear fall term charges; Spring Plan payments (December 1 to April 1) must clear spring term charges. If the balance due on your statement will not be cleared by your remaining scheduled payments for the term, please submit a payment for the difference directly to Duke. For more information, visit www.afford.com/duke or contact TMS at (800)722-4867.

Undergraduate students are encouraged to use the TMS Worksheet to calculate their Total TMS Budget Amount.

The deadline for enrolling in the Fall Plan is August 1. The deadline for enrolling in the Spring Plan is January 1.

Check payments should be mailed to:

Duke University - Payment Processing Center
PO Box 602538

To ensure prompt credit to your student account, please include a copy of your bill when mailing your payment.

This is our payment processing center at Wachovia (Wells Fargo) – only payments should be sent to this address. Correspondence, scholarship checks or overnight mail sent to this address will not be processed.

Your check should be:
- Payable in US dollars to "Duke University"
- Include your name and student account number (from your bill)
- drawn on
  - A U.S. financial institution (such as Wachovia (Wells Fargo)), or
  - A U.S. branch of your financial institution (example: the New York City branch of Barclay's Bank PLC)

Your check will be deposited upon receipt.

If you are paying from abroad and are unable to send a U.S. Dollar check drawn on a U.S. financial institution, or if your bank is unable to provide you with a check drawn on its U.S. branch, please submit your payment by bank wire. You may submit payment by bank wire via Western Union's TravelEx service or see the wiring instructions on the bottom of your electronic bill on ACES. If you are not using TravelEx, please print a copy of your bill on ACES to assist your bank in processing your bank wire. Bank wires take several days to reach the United States - please contact your bank in advance of the due date on your bill to ensure that your wire is received by the University by the due date.

Please Note: If you receive need-based aid from Duke, your aid will include work study and possibly a student loan. Any non-Duke scholarship you receive will first replace the loans and work study you were offered and will not automatically reduce your bill.

For more information, see our policy on outside scholarships.
