Payment Plans

UConn partners with Flywire to offer interest-free monthly payment plans. Payment plans allow families to divide the student account balance over 3, 4, or 5 monthly installments. Please note, you will be automatically removed from the current plan if one installment payment is missed.

Requirements

  • Fall and Spring payment plans only (UConn does not offer payment plans for Winter and Summer sessions).
  • Students with a balance of $300 or greater may enroll in a payment plan.
  • The last day to enroll into a payment plan is the 10th day of classes each Fall and Spring semester, however you must enroll prior to the fee bill due date to avoid Bursar Holds and up to $300 in Late Fees per semester.
  • All payment plans (except international plans) must be setup for automatic withdrawal from a personal U.S. bank account or a debit/credit card.  There will be an additional  2.75% convenience fee if paying with debit/credit card.
  • Past due balances must be paid in full before enrolling in a payment plan. If you pay by credit card, the hold can be lifted the same business day to allow you to enroll in the payment plan. If you pay by E-check or personal check, the Bursar Office waits 7 business days to ensure the payment is successful before removing the hold.  Please plan accordingly.
  • A $100 Non-Refundable Enrollment Fee is required at time of enrollment to activate the payment plan.
  • If a payment installment is rejected for insufficient funds, a $30 fee will be assessed by Flywire.
  • New Spring 2025 - International Payment Plans!  Students must still initiate the international payment via Flywire each month ahead of the installment due date.  It cannot be automatically processed.

    Payment Plan Rebalancing

    What is rebalancing?

    Payment plans will be rebalanced nightly to reflect matching balances in both Flywire and Student Administration. Flywire offers real time balancing upon login.

    • Account balance increases- If your student account balance increases after the 5th of the month, your Payment Plan Balance will rebalance and increase for the following month’s installment.
    • Account balance decreases- If your student account decreases after the 5th of the month, your Payment Plan Balance will rebalance and decrease for your installment on the 15th 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 After Payment Plan has been Created

    If a one-time payment is made by someone other than the payment plan owner, the remaining installments will rebalance. For example, scholarship payments received, paper checks mailed in, any financial aid applied to a student’s account and or online payments made by someone other than the payment plan owner.

     

    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 7/15
    • $2,500 automatically deducted from the saved payment method on 8/15
    • $2,500 automatically deducted from the saved payment method on 9/15
    • $2,500 automatically deducted from the saved payment method on 10/15

     

    Example #2:

    Jonathan requests a 529 payment for $2,000 and on 7/10 the University receives the payment and posts to his fee bill.  This payment will not apply to the $2,500 installment on 7/15, rather the plan will rebalance to:

    • $2,000 automatically deducted from the saved payment method on 7/15
    • $2,000 automatically deducted from the saved payment method on 8/15
    • $2,000 automatically deducted from the saved payment method on 9/15
    • $2,000 automatically deducted from the saved payment method on 10/15

     

    Example #3:

    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 7/15
    • $3,000 automatically deducted from the saved payment method on 8/15
    • $3,000 automatically deducted from the saved payment method on 9/15

     

    Example #4:

    Jonathan is the payment plan owner, but gives his mom, Tildy, Authorized User access to view his account and make payment.  Mom logs in on 7/14 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 7/15 installment.  Instead, the plan will rebalance to:

    • $2,000 automatically deducted from the saved payment method on 7/15
    • $2,000 automatically deducted from the saved payment method on 8/15
    • $2,000 automatically deducted from the saved payment method on 9/15
