When is the first payment due?
The first payment is due within one week of signing your contract/after you have received your first invoice.
Why do I have to make a payment before the course has even started?
We ask our admitted learners to make one payment within one week of signing the study contract so that they can secure their spot on the program.
When is the second payment due?
The second payment is due depending on the payment option you chose. You can find this information on your payment schedule.
Will I get an invoice before each payment is due?
Yes, you will get an invoice every time before a payment is due. The invoice is sent on the first of the month.
It is a few days after the first of the month and still I haven’t received my invoice yet. What should I do?
Check your spam folder. Because invoices are sent with an automated system, some email programs might send the invoice emails to the spam folder. If you still have not received your invoice by the 5th of the month, contact payments@tomorrow.university.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept payments via bank transfer, SEPA direct debit, and debit/credit card (except for learners based in Germany and Austria).
Can I pay by credit card?
Yes, credit card payment is available for learners who live outside of Germany and Austria.
I want to pay by bank transfer. Where can I find the Tomorrow University bank account information so that I can make the transfer?
You find the bank details on your invoice. The payment recipient is ToU gGmbH, which is the organization that manages Tomorrow University of Applied Sciences.
Can I set up a standing order (recurring bank transfers) regardless of when I receive my invoices?
Yes, you can set up a standing order (recurring bank transfers) for your payments. We recommend this especially for learners who have chosen the monthly payment. You will still receive the invoices via email for your records.
Why are my payment amounts different?
If you have been awarded a scholarship, the scholarship amount is deducted from your tuition fee payments at the end of the program if you pay upfront, yearly, per semester or quarterly. Therefore some installments at the end of the program might have a different amount than previous installments.
How do I know that ToU received my payment?
If you don’t hear from us about outstanding payments you can assume that we have received your payment. If you are unsure, you can also contact payments@tomorrow.university and we will check and send you confirmation.
What happens if I don’t pay on time?
If we haven’t received your payment one week after the payment due date, you will receive an automatic reminder, followed by another reminder after one more week. If we still don’t receive your payment after these reminders, our Registration Team will reach out to you to understand why you haven’t made the payment. If we don’t hear from you or receive your payment, we will suspend your access to the learning app and learning community.
We are interested in your success, so we will work with you to find a solution should you run into financial difficulties. But please keep in mind that by signing your study contract you made a commitment to pay your tuition fees, and failure to pay will lead to disenrollment from your study program and ToU.
I’m having trouble coming up with my next tuition fee installment. What can I do?
Please get in touch with us as soon as possible if you are running into financial difficulties. The earlier we know about your situation, the sooner we can take action and try to find a solution. You can reach out to payments@tomorrow.university or directly to our team through the support chat.
Who can I contact if I have additional questions about the payment plans, making transfers or other topics related to the tuition fee?
Please reach out to payments@tomorrow.university, and a member of the Registration team will get back to you.
If I pay my tuition fee per semester, year or upfront, will I get my money back, if I have to leave the program?
If you cancel your study contract, you’ll only pay for the portion of the studies you've completed, irrespective of which payment plan you have chosen.
What if I sign the contract and want to change my payment method later on?
We strongly recommend that you review the payment options and choose the most suitable payment frequency for you prior to signing your contract. Once your contract is signed you will start receiving invoices based on the selected payment plan. Since our payment options offer different payment schedule discounts, choosing a new payment frequency will affect your overall tuition fee amount. This means you will have to pay the difference between your old payment method amount and the new one.
If I choose the monthly extended plan, can I change to a different plan later on?
We recommend that you don’t choose the extended monthly payment plan, if you are expecting a change of payment plan down the line. Because if you choose the extended monthly plan, you will stay locked in the higher overall tuition price that includes the financing fees.
None of the payment plans that you offer suit me. Can I have an individualized payment plan?
No. We understand that our standard payment plans may not always align perfectly with every individual's needs. However, we do provide a variety of options to choose from, even if individualized payment plans are not offered, and we are available to assist you in finding the best fit within our existing payment options.
Can my employer pay my tuition fee?
Yes, your employer can pay your tuition fee in full or in part. There are two options. We either address and send the invoice to you and you forward it to your employer or we can issue it in the name of your employer and send it to your employer directly.
Can my employer and I share the tuition payments?
Yes, we can generally work with any form of agreement between you and your employer. However, please note that you have to choose a payment plan that is listed on your payment schedule. We cannot offer you any other payment frequencies.
What information do you need if my employer wants to pay my tuition fee?
We need your employer's name and address. If you want us to send the invoice directly to your employer, we also need an email address.
Can I pay my tuition in the middle of the month or at the end of the month?
No. You will receive your invoice at the beginning of each month and it will be due after seven days. If you run into unforeseen issues and will not be able to pay your invoice within those seven days, please contact us as soon as possible so we can work out a solution together.
Can you advise me on financial support that is available through the government of my home country?
No. We cannot advise you on financial aid provided by your government or other agencies in your country. Please inform yourself about possible options and the application process. If you are applying for financial support in your home country, we can support you by providing university and enrollment information requested by the institution that provides the funding.
Can you provide me with information regarding tax questions?
No. Taxes are subject to national jurisdiction and our students come from all over the world. We don’t have the expertise to advise on country-specific tax questions.
