TMS Payment Gateway Directions
The TMS Payment Gateway is the only way to make a payment to your student account with a credit card or checking/savings account electronic debit. There is a 2.99% service fee associated with the use of a credit card through the Payment Gateway (minimum $1.00 transaction fee) and is assessed by the service upon completion of the transaction. If you choose the self service option AND the checking/savings account option the fee is waived.
If you have a hold on your account due to an outstanding balance and need to have it removed immediately, make note of the confirmation number you are given after your payment has been completed. Contact the Business Office at 973-408-3114 or email business@drew.edu with the number and we can confirm the completion of your transaction and put in a temporary clearance (this clearance does not apply to the payment from Checking or Savings option which requires a 10 day hold for funds to clear).
