Payment Plan Enrollment

Enrollment can be completed by phone (1-877-821-0625), or on the web at https://commerce.cashnet.com/tcnjpay.

Note: If a student has previously used the payment plan and been terminated, TCNJ may, at its discretion, bar participation from the payment plan in the future.

Payment Plan Adjustments / Billing / Refunds

If your payment plan contract is not enough to cover your TCNJ bill, you will need to pay the difference directly to the college by the current TCNJ bill due date as listed on the Billing Calendar.

It is your responsibility to review your TCNJ student account whenever a billing notice is sent. Billing emails are sent to the student’s TCNJ email and the Authorized User’s personal email account.

Payment plan contracts can be adjusted up to the third payment due date for undergraduate students and the second payment due date for graduate students. To increase your plan to cover outstanding tuition balances, contact TCNJ’s Payment Plan Representative, Ms. Rayanne Conyers-Tiwari, at 609-771-3145 or paymentplan@tcnj.edu.

All refunds will be issued upon completion of the semester payment plan contract.

Account in Good Standing

Students and their respective bill payers are expected to keep their payment plan in good standing with Transact Payment by paying in a timely manner. Students who experience multiple account terminations from the payment plan could have their access to the payment plan blocked for future semesters.
