2026-2027 International Payment Plans
Students can set up an international payment plan through our partnered wire transfer service, PayMyTuition. The international payment plan is available during the fall, spring, and summer terms. This plan is intended for students who will pay every installment using an international bank account through PayMyTuition. The international payment plan is only compatible with payments made through PayMyTuition from international bank accounts.
Enrolling in a payment plan through PayMyTuition is voluntary. It is an interest-free plan designed for families who prefer to spread all, or a portion of, their educational expenses across four or five payments each semester. Enrollment in a payment plan requires a $50 nonrefundable enrollment fee per plan.
Students who do not have a US bank account upon enrolling in a payment plan but anticipate that they will pay any installment using a method other than PayMyTuition (such as credit card, US bank account, or Flywire) during the semester should contact stuaccts@pobox.upenn.edu for assistance.
