TouchNet Payment Plans


We want to help our students and their families manage their cost of attendance. To do this, we've partnered with TouchNet to offer interest-free monthly payment options. 


TouchNet's plans divide tuition and fees into monthly payments. They offer semester-based plans for the fall, spring, and summer.


You must choose and establish a plan with TouchNet before the tuition due date. This ensures you meet your financial obligation to Lesley. Each plan requires a non-refundable $45 enrollment fee. This fee is due to TouchNet with the first payment. TouchNet accepts electronic checks/Automated Clearing House (ACH) payments. They also accept American Express, Discover, MasterCard, or Visa for an additional fee. You can submit this fee when you enroll for a plan online through our Student Account Center (SAC). 


To visit the SAC, log into Self-Service at lesley.edu/selfservice. In the Financial Information menu, select "Student Finance" and then "View Billing Activity and Make a Payment." After you've logged in, you'll be greeted by the SAC homepage. From here, you can set up (or manage) your payment plan.
