To set up a payment plan, the student must have a US bank account and US address. Payment options include:

• ACH/direct debit - securely add your preferred bank account for easy payment each time.
• Credit/debit card (Visa, MasterCard, AMEX, Discover, ATM debit cards) - securely add your preferred card for easy checkout every time you pay. There is a 2.75% processing fee assessed by our vendor on each credit/debit card transaction. 

**E-check  – Returned e-check fee is now $30.00 and will be directly debited from the payor's bank account instead of being charged to their fee bill.

Student instructions: View, Pay Fee Bill, Enroll in Payment Plan

Students or one of the student's Authorized Users can enroll in a Payment Plan.  If the student enrolls, the student is owner of the plan; if an Authorized User enrolls, that individual is the owner of the plan.  This is important because only the owner of the plan can change the payment method.  Both the student and ALL of the student’s Authorized Users will receive Payment Plan notifications by email.

Becoming an Authorized User is a very important step to becoming involved and staying informed about your student's University fee bill. 

Note, Authorized Users do not receive e-bill notifications for the summer and winter sessions.

Students are able to grant one or more authorized users access to their financial information, including the ability to view charges on the account, pay the bill, or enroll in a payment plan. An authorized user can be parent/guardian, family member, employer, or any other person the student wishes to have access to their account. Adding an authorized user to an account is quick and easy.

Instructions for requesting to become an Authorized User can be found here.

What is rebalancing?

Since you can enroll in a Payment Plan before your enrollment is finalized, your payment plan may fluctuate to match your student account balance.  Periodically, we will adjust your Payment Plan Balance to match the student account balance. This process is called rebalancing and it happens multiple times between the 1^st and 10^th of each month.  

If your account balance increases

• If your student account balance increases after the 10^th of the month, your Payment Plan Balance will rebalance and increase for the following month’s installment. 

If your account balance decreases

• If your student account decreases after the 10^th of the month, your Payment Plan Balance will rebalance and decrease for your installment on the 20^th of that same month. 

Rebalancing schedule

• The rebalancing process automatically subtracts anticipated financial aid displayed on the Account Summary and Account Activity tabs when it calculates your Payment Plan balance.  Please note that although automatic rebalancing does not happen daily, rest assured that your account will adjust correctly.

One-time payments

Should a one-time payment, scholarship or any financial aid apply to a student account after the Payment Plan was already created, that payment does not apply to the next Payment Plan installment amount.  Instead, the entire plan rebalances and decreases all your remaining installments.

Example #1:

Jonathan Husky enrolls in a 4-month payment plan for $10,000.  His payment plan installments are as follows:

• $2,500 automatically deducted from the saved payment method on 7/20
• $2,500 automatically deducted from the saved payment method on 8/20
• $2,500 automatically deducted from the saved payment method on 9/20
• $2,500 automatically deducted from the saved payment method on 10/20

Jonathan requests a 529 payment for $2,000 and on 7/15 the University receives the payment and posts to his fee bill.  This payment will not apply to the $2,500 installment on 7/20, rather the plan will rebalance to:

• $2,000 automatically deducted from the saved payment method on 7/20
• $2,000 automatically deducted from the saved payment method on 8/20
• $2,000 automatically deducted from the saved payment method on 9/20
• $2,000 automatically deducted from the saved payment method on 10/20

Example #2:

Jonathan Husky enrolls in a 3-month payment plan for $9,000.  His payment plan installments are as follows:

• $3,000 automatically deducted from the saved payment method on 7/20
• $3,000 automatically deducted from the saved payment method on 8/20
• $3,000 automatically deducted from the saved payment method on 9/20

Jonathan gives his mom, Tildy, Authorized User access to view his account and make payment.  She logs in on 7/19 and makes a $3,000 payment.  Because Tildy is not the owner of the payment plan, this is considered a one-time payment and does not go towards the 7/20 installment.  Instead, the plan will rebalance to:

• $2,000 automatically deducted from the saved payment method on 7/20
• $2,000 automatically deducted from the saved payment method on 8/20
• $2,000 automatically deducted from the saved payment method on 9/20

How do I cancel or change my payment plan?

If you wish to cancel your current payment plan for any reason, please email bursar@uconn.edu to cancel your plan and include your student ID. If you are an Authorized User, please include student ID and your FERPA 4-digit pin. The $100 enrollment is non-refundable.

Once a student enrolls in a payment plan, we are unable to change the plan. The student may wish to cancel the plan and then enroll in a new plan. Please note, the student will be assessed the $100 enrollment fee for each time they enroll.

How do I switch my payment method for my payment plan?

There can only be one payment plan owner. The person who set up the payment plan, is the owner. The payment plan owner can only change the payment method that is attached to the payment plan. Please see instructions below.
