Tuition Payment Plan - Academic Management Services (AMS)

Southern Connecticut State University has a relationship with Academic Management Services (AMS), an external vendor who handles Southern's monthly payment plan. This payment plan option is available to those students and parents who find it more convenient to make monthly payments.

You can use the AMS plan while waiting for financial aid, then cancel the plan when your aid is awarded. You cannot use the plan to help pay for your Health Insurance or to add add money to your Hoot Loot card. If you need health insurance or wish to have funds on your Hoot Loot card, you must pay for this separately from the AMS payment plan.The AMS plan has a one-time non-refundable $45 application fee.

 

THE ONLY WAY TO SIGN UP FOR THE AMS PLAN IS BY CONTACTING AMS DIRECTLY AT: www.tuitionpay.com OR CALL 1-800-635-0120.

This site is managed by the Bursar's Office.
