The Tuition Option Payment Plan (TOPP) is an option for students who prefer to pay in smaller, more affordable installments. To enroll in the TOPP program, students must enroll on-line from their Buckeye Link Account.

Under the TOPP, the first payment will be due by the fee due date each semester (seven days before classes start), and the remaining three payments will be due every 30 days.
