Frequently Asked Questions

Does Virginia Tech offer a payment plan for international students?

Yes, eligible students may enroll in the University's Budget Tuition Plan (BTP). The BTP allows students to divide semester cost into 4 monthly direct debits to a U.S. checking account instead of paying one lump sum by the tuition payment deadline date. For more information about the BTP, please click here.

The banks in my country generally make payment through a demand draft and not through checks? Is this form of payment acceptable?

Yes, a demand draft on an American bank in American dollars is an acceptable form of payment. Please note the check must be drawn exclusively on a U.S. bank. If an international bank is referenced on the check, the domestic bank collections process will be initiated. This process can take several weeks before payment is posted to your account. Bank collection fees may reduce the payment amount.
