Tuition and fee statements are sent during the registration period as follows.

New Visa Sponsored Students

New Visa-sponsored students are sent statements for advanced payment. The statements are sent to the temple.edu email address created as part of the application process.

•  New Visa sponsored students are advised to contact TUJ VISA ([click-for-email]) with any questions they may have.

Current Students - Priority & LOA Registration

Current matriculated or LOA students are required to register during the priority period (as per the online AAC Course Registration guidelines). Once the priority registration period has ended, a statement will be sent to the student’s temple.edu e-mail account as follows.

• Current matriculated or LOA students eligible to register online but who fail to do so by November 17^th, 2025 for the Spring 2026 semester will be assessed a 5,500-yen late registration fee. Current matriculated students refers to matriculated students who studied in the Fall 2025 semester.
• Please be aware that any current students who register during the priority registration period but fail to pay the amount by the due date, will have their registration canceled.
• Students who then re-register will incur a 5,500-yen registration re-instatement fee.

All Students - Includes New (non-visa sponsored) Students, Late Registration & Bridge Students

For registration after the priority period, a statement will be sent to the temple.edu e-mail account for each student as follows.

• Current students that enroll late (after November 17^th, 2025) or need to re-register due to cancellation of their priority enrollment (see above) will be assessed a 5,500-yen fee. This fee will appear on the tuition and fee statement itself and does not need to be paid separately.
• New students need to complete their enrollment before the beginning of the semester on January 13^th, 2026. Late enrollment during the first week of the semester will result in a 5,500-yen late enrollment fee being added to their tuition and fee statement on January 20^th, 2026.

Arrow-Medium IMPORTANT

• Students that wish to drop all their classes must do so before the end of the drop period at 1pm on January 26^th, 2026 (as per the Spring 2026 Academic Calendar)to avoid remaining financially liable for payment of all tuition and fees.

All Students - Final Invoice

Once the academic add/drop periods have finished (as per the Spring 2026 Academic Calendar), a final invoice for the semester will be sent to the temple.edu e-mail account for each student as follows.

•  As the final invoice is sent after the end of the university drop period (as per the Spring 2026 Academic Calendar), students are financially liable for payment of all tuition and fees that appear.

Easy Payment Plan (EPP)

To assist students with the costs associated with studying, TUJ offers an installment plan called the Easy Payment Plan (EPP). Application for the plan can be made via the EPP payment link on the statement itself.

Details of the plan for Spring 2026 are as follows:

Arrow-Medium NEW VISA SPONSORED STUDENTS

Payment can be split into two installments. EPP payment deadlines for new visa sponsored students for Spring 2026 are as follows:

• December 1^st, 2025 – 50% of the total estimated charges 
• March 4^th, 2026 – Remaining Balance as per the final invoice

For example, if your total charges are 1,000,000 yen, you would pay as follows:

• December 1^st, 2025 – 500,000 yen
• March 4^th, 2026 – 500,000 yen

Please note that increases to enrollment or fees from the initial advanced payment statement will be reflected on statement updates sent once the semester begins. This can sometimes result in the need for a payment before March 4^th, 2026, to ensure that 50% of the updated total charges has been covered.

Arrow-Medium CURRENT STUDENTS (INCLUDING LOA STUDENTS)

If you register by the end of priority registration (November 17^th, 2025), you can split your payment into three installments. EPP payment deadlines for current students for Spring 2026 are as follows:

• December 1^st, 2025 – 33% of total charges
• February 4^th, 2026 – 33% of total charges
• March 4^th, 2026 – Remaining Balance

For example, if your total charges are 880,000 yen, you would pay as follows:

• December 1^st, 2025 – 290,400 yen
• February 4^th, 2026 – 290,400 yen
• March 4^th, 2026 – 299,200 yen

Current students must apply for the EPP plan through their statement by December 1^st, 2025. Applications after this date will not be accepted. Application can be made by selecting the EPP option on the statement received on November 18^th, 2025.

Please note that increases to enrollment or fees from the initial 33% payment will be reflected on statement updates sent once the semester begins. This can sometimes result in the need for further payment before March 4^th, 2026, to ensure that 66% of the updated total charges has been covered.

Arrow-Medium NEW (non-visa sponsored) AND LATE REGISTRATION STUDENTS

For new (non-visa sponsored) and late registration students, you can split your payment into two installments. Payment deadlines for Spring 2026 are as follows:
