Fall Payment Plans

Educational expenses can be easier to manage when spread over predictable monthly payments. UConn offers interest-free payment plans as an alternative to one large payment to help limit loan borrowing and ease financial pressures. Students and designated authorized users may contribute to a payment plan to pay for eligible student charges. 

Students who enroll in the payment plan will see a positive service indicator () on their account noting that they are active in the payment plan. This service indicator will NOT prevent any University services and is primarily a note to identify the account.

Students who enroll in a payment plan through July 20th may split their balance into the following equal installments:

  • 5 installments due 7/20, 8/20, 9/20, 10/20, 11/20
  • 4 installments due 7/20, 8/20, 9/20, 10/20
  • 3 installments due 7/20, 8/20, 9/20

Students who enroll in a payment plan after July 20th through August 20th  may split their balance into the following equal installments:

  • 4 installments due 8/20, 9/20, 10/20, 11/20
  • 3 installments due 8/20, 9/20, 10/20

*** If a student does not enroll prior to the fee bill due date for the fall term, they may receive a hold and/or late fees.

Payment Plan Ownership

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.

Request to be an Authorized User

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.

Payment Plan 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 1st and 10th of each month.  
  • If your student account balance increases after the 10th of the month, your Payment Plan Balance will rebalance and increase for the following month’s installment
  • If your student account decreases after the 10th of the month, your Payment Plan Balance will rebalance and decrease for your installment on the 20th of that same month
  • 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 assure your account will adjust correctly.
  • ImportantShould a one-time payment, scholarship or any financial aid apply to a student account after the 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
