2024-25 Bill Estimator
The Bill Estimator is a tool to help estimate how much you will owe for each term. Simply check off the boxes that determine what charges you will be responsible for and input any financial aid amounts into the bill estimator. The estimator will subtract the aid you accepted from the charges to estimate how much you will owe for the term. This is intended for estimation purposes ONLY and not to replace the below term billing statements.

Tuition Payment
For all undergraduate students, tuition and fees are charged to the Student Bursar's Account approximately 30 days before the beginning of each term. Payment for tuition, fees, room and board, is due on the first day of each term: September 30, 2024; January 6, 2025; and March 31, 2025. In addition, all other charges on the account, such as laundry, library fees, etc. are due net 30 days.
If tuition is being paid by a Third Party agency, an anticipated payment will be applied to the student account to reduce the amount that is owed. If the agency does not remit payment for tuition by the end of the second term, the payment will be reversed from the account and the student will be responsible for the unpaid balance. An unpaid balance will result in a diploma or registration hold.

Student bills are available online after the 10th of each month. Students may log into access.caltech.edu and select the "Bursar Billing and Payment (Transact)" link to view, print, or pay their bills.
