Q. TMS used to have 5 payments.  Why are there only 4 payments in the new plan?
A. There are two reasons.  First, we wanted to eliminate the previous confusion associated with setting up your budget before receiving your fee bill.  Secondly, the 4-payment plan means you don’t have to come up with so much money so early.  Compare the cash flow below for a $5,000 budget plan:

You may send a check to the University of Connecticut, 233 Glenbrook Rd, Unit 4100 Storrs, CT 06269 or you may mail payments to your regional campus bursar’s office.  Please be sure to always put your Student ID on the memo line of the check.

Q. What is the cutoff date for enrolling in the plan?
A. Students may enroll as late as the 10th day of classes, however, all previously scheduled installment payments will be due upon enrollment.  In general, students should enroll prior to August 1 (fall) and January 8 (spring) to avoid Bursar Holds.

Q. Will I be notified if my or my child’s fee bill changes?
A. Yes.  The plan automatically sends out e-mail notifications concerning changes in your fee bill and the impact on your payment plan.  This eliminates the risk of under-budgeting or over-budgeting.

A. No. As new charges and credits are applied to your fee bill, the remaining installments will automatically be recalculated and you will be notified by email.
