Pay Online with a Checking or Savings Account
Tiffin University Self Service
Paying your bill by your Bank Account (electronic check) is fast, easy, and free. To pay by eCheck you need two pieces of information: your account number and your U.S. bank’s nine-digit routing number.
On a paper check, your account number is found on the bottom of the check and can vary in length. Your account number is the number you use when you make a deposit into your account.
Your bank’s routing number is found to the left of the account number. If you don’t have access to a paper check or you’re paying from a savings account, ask your bank for its nine-digit routing number.
Once you have the information you need follow the instructions below:

Pay online with credit or debit card
You can pay your bill online with a credit or debit card, but be aware that you’ll be charged a nonrefundable service fee of 2.85% each time. To avoid paying a service charge, pay online by electronic check instead.
The service fee for online credit or debit card payment is collected by the online payment service, not by Tiffin University, so it won’t be posted to your student account. Tiffin University does not receive any part of the service fee and cannot waive it. You are responsible for paying the entire service fee.
You can pay with your credit or debit card online only. We do not accept credit or debit cards in person.

Tuition & Fees
Tiffin University is one of the most affordable private colleges in Ohio. How can this be true? It’s simple. We offer a whole host of ways our students can reduce costs and still gain the benefits of small classes taught by high-caliber faculty.
Past Due Balances
If your student account is past due and you owe more than $500 in the fall semester, and/or you owe more than $200 in the spring semester a financial hold will be placed on your account. This means that you are denied certain University services such as registering for classes, and getting your diploma. Once you pay the balance, then your financial hold will be removed.
