The first shock you may have is that there isn’t always a ‘bill’ from the college. I had one at a private school and one at a public. No bills. The private school bill was due about a week before school started, which was mid-Aug. The public school bill was due 3 weeks after school started, in late September. You just had to go onto the portal and submit the payment. At first both schools took credit cards with no additional fees, but after a year the public school started charging 2-4%, so I started paying by ACH transfer. Daughter could have walked into the registrar with a check, but timing was tricky as they applied the FA and loans, but if she added of dropped a class the amount changed.

My friend’s father also pay for college. What gift!
