Cash
Students may make tuition payments directly to University College by check, cash, money order or wire transaction. Tuition payments may be made at the time of registration or students may choose to be billed.
Credit Cards
Tuition payments may be made by credit card through Tuition Management Systems. To make a credit card payment please call 1-888-373-7905 or log onto the TMS website. Tuition Management Systems charges a 2.5-3% convenience fee for all credit card payments.
TMS accepts Discover, American Express and Mastercard.
Employer-Reimbursement Tuition Deferral
Students who are reimbursed by their employers are eligible to defer the reimbursed portion of their tuition each quarter.
Students must provide a letter from their employer and/or the "Employer Reimbursement Payment Agreement" stating the terms of reimbursement. The University of Denver requires that this documentation is updated each fall. A $45 non-refundable processing fee is charged each quarter.
Students are required to pay any tuition and fees which are not reimbursed by the employer.
Deferred tuition is due 60 days after the end of each quarter to allow time for students to obtain reimbursement from their employers.
University College can provide a letter that states the course title, fees and tuition, and grade received in the classes to facilitate employer reimbursement. The letter must be requested at the time of registration.
Deferred tuition must be paid in full by the due date, regardless of the assigned grade (including incompletes).

Direct Billing of Employer
The University of Denver will bill employers who pay University College directly for employee tuition and fees. Students must provide a letter or form each quarter from their company at the time of registration which authorizes billing and includes the name and address of the person to whom the bill is to be sent.
The student is responsible for payment of all charges not covered by the third party by the billing due date. If for any reason the third party does not pay the invoiced charges, the student is responsible for paying the outstanding balance.
