Payments

Pay in Full

If you pay the full account balance listed on the U-Bill by the 20th of the month, there will be no additional fees. There is always the chance of other charges being added, but paying in full will avoid any late fees.
Deferred Billing Payment Plan ($20 fee)
When a semester's Tuition and Fees have been assessed to their U-Bill, students have the option to enroll in the Deferred Billing Payment Plan and spread payments across the first three months of that semester. There is a $20 Deferred Billing Fee that is assessed each semester that this plan is used. Only the student has the ability to enroll in this plan.
