The Carnegie Mellon Tuition Payment Plan allows you the convenience to investigate, enroll and pay on-line. If you set up a monthly payment plan with TMS, one half of your contracted amount will be credited to your fall invoice, the remainder to the other semesters contracted. If you still have a balance once your contracted amount is credited on the invoice and after deducting the amount of your approved loans, you will either need to increase your contract with TMS, OR send the balance due on your student account to Carnegie Mellon.
