Last update: July 2026

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 16^th, 2026 for the Spring 2027 semester will be assessed a 5,500-yen late registration fee. Current matriculated students refers to matriculated students who studied in the Fall 2026 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 16^th, 2026) 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 12^th, 2027. 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 19^th, 2027.

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 25^th, 2027 (as per the Spring 2027 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 2027 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 2027 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 2027 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 2027 are as follows:

• December 1^st, 2026 – 50% of the total estimated charges 
• March 3^rd, 2027 – Remaining Balance as per the final invoice

For example, if your total charges are 1,500,000 yen, you would pay as follows:

• December 1^st, 2026 – 750,000 yen
• March 3^rd, 2027 – 750,000 yen

Please note that increases in enrollment or fees from the initial advanced payment statement will be reflected in statement updates sent once the semester begins. This can sometimes result in the need for a partial payment before March 3^rd, 2027, to ensure that 50% of the updated total charges have been covered before the final EPP deadline.

Statement updates and the final invoice sent in the first weeks of the semester will reflect the EPP payment already made, and any amount due by March 3^rd, 2027.

Arrow-Medium CURRENT STUDENTS (INCLUDING LOA STUDENTS)

If you register by the end of priority registration (November 16^th, 2026), you can split your payment into three installments as follows:

• November 30^th, 2026 – 33% of total charges
• February 3^rd, 2027 – 33% of total charges
• March 3^rd, 2027 – Remaining Balance

For example, if your total charges are 910,000 yen, you would pay as follows:

• November 30^th, 2026 – 300,300 yen
• February 3^rd, 2027 – 300,300 yen
• March 3^rd, 2027 – 309,400 yen

Current students must apply for the EPP plan through their statement by November 30^th, 2026. Applications after this date will not be accepted. Application can be made by selecting the EPP option on the statement received on November 17^th, 2027.

Please note that increases to enrollment or fees from the initial 33% payment in November will be reflected in statement updates sent once the semester begins. This can sometimes result in a larger EPP amount due on February 3rd, 2027, to ensure that 66% of the updated total charges have been covered by the second EPP deadline.

Statement updates and the final invoice sent in the first weeks of the semester will reflect any EPP payment already made, the second EPP payment due February 3^rd, 2027, and any final amount due by March 3^rd, 2027. As no further updated invoices can be issued after January 27^th, 2027, a final EPP payment reminder email will be sent in late February to reflect the final EPP payment due March 3^rd, 2027.

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 as follows:

• February 3^rd, 2027 – 50% of total charges
• March 3^rd, 2027 – Remaining Balance

For example, if your total charges are 910,000 yen, you would pay as follows:

• February 3^rd, 2027 – 455,000 yen
• March 3^rd, 2027 – 455,000 yen

New, LOA, and late registration students must apply for the EPP plan through their statement by February 3^rd, 2027. Applications after this date will not be accepted. Please note that increases to enrollment or fees from the initial 50% payment will be reflected on the final invoice.
