As many of you may have noticed, the bills for the Fall Semester tuition are now available in your cadet's Lesesne Gateway account. As always, there are two methods of making your payments - 1) lump sum payment or 2) equal payments spread over a certain number of months via The Citadel Tuition Payment Plan (CTTP). There are some changes to the CTTP that the Treasurer sent to your cadet's @citadel.edu email account today we wanted you to be aware of.
Last spring we changed our secure-bill payment company from Touchnet to Transact and used the summer to make that transition. Most of the transfer has gone very smoothly, but as can be expected there are a few areas that are taken more time than we had planned. Touchnet continues to be our primary secure bill-paying site until we can make the full shift to Transact.
One of the areas affected is The Citadel Tuition Payment Plan. Transact has made good progress in assuming this function, but has not been able to have the system fully available this month as we had hoped with the additional features we want incorporated into the program. Based on the progress made to date, we expect the program to be available for those interested in registering for the Tuition Payment Plan during the first week of August. Because of the delay, the Treasurer has extended the deadline to register to September 30th. Payments will be due on the first of each month through December 1st.
If you plan to pay the tuition in full, you can still do that on the Touchnet site as long as your cadet has made you an "Authorized User" (which they can do through their Lesesne Gateway account).
One of the features of the CTTP under Transact will be the integration of the program into your cadet's Lesesne Gateway account. Previously, registration into the program and any changes to the account had to be made via a separate site, but when Transact's CTTP goes live, they will be able to manage - with greater functionality - their CTTP program via their Lesesne Gateway account.
If you have any questions concerning the transition, please contact the Treasurer's Office at treasurer@citadel.edu.
