Student Payments
Attention: There are many financial scams that take advantage of college students, especially international students.

Do not give your money to someone else who claims they will provide you a credit card or bank account number to use to pay your fee bill. If you are presented with a payment method not listed here, please immediately contact bursar@uconn.edu.

The University offers a variety of payment options. The following payment options are available for all student fee bills.

Please note we do not accept the following:
- Cash payment
- Payments over the phone

If you have a payment that has been posted to your fee bill and there are future charges listed on your account, the payment will be applied towards those charges. If you are anticipating federal aid to apply towards your fee bill, contact One Stop at onestop@uconn.edu or 860-486-1111 regarding the application/acceptance process.

Fidelity will not allow direct debit/electronic payment if the amount requested will bring your 529 plan balance under $500.
529 College Savings Plan
Select 529 plans have integrated with Flywire the payment portal to have payments processed electronically. 529 plan owners can log into their 529 plan account and select to pay UConn. You will need to enter the 7-digit Student ID # where it mentions "account number", which is NOT UConn's bank account #. The payment is sent to UConn electronically via Flywire.
Online Home Bill Pay
Payments can be made directly to UConn through personal bank's online bill paying system! Set up UConn the same way you would any other payee. Simply select "UConn Fee Bill" from the bank's list of payees. If the bank does not use a pre-defined list then carefully enter the name "UConn Fee Bill" as the payee. For the account number, carefully enter your student's 7-digit UConn ID number and use the address indicated below:
UConn Fee Bill233 Glenbrook Road, Unit 4100
Storrs, Connecticut 06269-4100
Online bill pay is convenient, fast, secure, and free at most banks. Please note, some bill pay payments will drop to a check and will be mailed to the Bursar's Office. This will delay posting to the fee bill.
Pay by Credit or Debit Card
The university accepts credit and debit card payments via the Internet only. Credit card (or debit card) payments are not taken at the cashier's window or by telephone. Students (via the Student Administration System) and Authorized Users (via the Online Bill and Payment System) can make a payment with VISA, MasterCard, Discover, American Express, JCB, BC Card, DinaCard and Diner's Club. A 2.75% non-refundable convenience fee* will apply to your transaction. This convenience fee is required to offset the expense of offering credit cards as a payment option and is paid directly to the credit card processor.
Log in to StudentAdmin with your ID and password and please navigate to the Bursar Services Tile. Then click “Pay Bill & Authorize Users” to make a payment online, 24x7.

In order to avoid late fees, graduate students must remind their respective department to complete the payroll authorization in order to access this system.

International Payments
Pay with Foreign Currency
University of Connecticut is partnered with Flywire offering students the ability to pay their fee bills with foreign currency via an international account. Students and Authorized Users can login to the payment portal to make a wire transfer. UConn DOES NOT give out banking information and we can only track payments made through Flywire.
For more information regarding wire transfers, please visit Flywire.
Important: UConn does not partner with Easy Transfer. If paying with an international account, please only utilize Flywire. Please be aware of scams and ensure you are only using one of the University-approved payment methods. Do not give your money to someone else who claims they will provide you a credit card or bank account number to use to pay your fee bill. If you are presented with a payment method not listed here, please immediately contact bursar@uconn.edu.
Other Payment Options
Pay in Person
We only accept checks in person. The office will remain cashless. As always, we highly encourage an electronic option be used instead during this time.
Pay by Mail
Please expect delays when mailing payments. As soon as the University receives the payment, it is posted to the account and an email notification will be sent to your UConn email address.
Payment made by mail, including registered and overnight mail, should be sent to:

Private Scholarships and How to Report Them
Please submit your private scholarship letter to the Office of the Bursar using this form. Do not email your private scholarship letter to the Office of the Bursar.
Complete information on scholarships or funding letters can be found on our Private Scholarship Deferment page.
Private Scholarships reported via the deferment form will be reported to the Office of Student Financial Aid Services (OSFAS). Per federal regulations, your total financial aid, including federal, state, university, and other sources may not exceed your total Cost of Attendance (COA). In cases where your total financial aid exceeds your demonstrated need and or COA, OSFAS may have to adjust or reduce your aid in this order: first loans, then work-study, then grants and scholarships.
Third Party Invoicing
If a student is expecting their tuition and fee bill to be paid directly to UConn by a third party (i.e. employer, sponsor, state agency, etc.) the student must submit a third party financial guarantee letter, on company letterhead, to the Office of the Bursar using the Request Third Party Invoice link below.
Once the financial guarantee has been submitted the Office of the Bursar will, in turn, defer the fee bill based on the value and terms listed on the financial guarantee for that given semester. The Student Billing Office will send all invoices after the close of the add/drop period of the given semester. Any remaining balance due on the account will be the financial responsibility of the student by the published due dates.
Failure to pay any remaining balance after the deferral and/or failure to submit a financial guarantee by the fee bill due date may result in accrual of late fees and a financial hold being placed on the students account. In the event the third party does not submit full or any portion of the payment the balance due will be the sole financial responsibility of the student.
For additional questions, please reach out to studentbilling@uconn.edu.
Fellowships
For information regarding fellowships, please refer to the Office of Student Financial Aid Services.
Failure to Pay Your Bill on Time
What happens if I do not pay my fee bill on time?
Hold Policy
Students with outstanding balances of greater than $10.00 on their fee bills will have an “Academic Transcript Restricted” (TRN) hold placed on their accounts. This hold will not allow students to request their official academic transcript from the Office of the Registrar.
Students with outstanding balances of greater than $300.00 will have a "Bursar hold" (ANT or ALL hold) placed on their accounts. Bursar holds prevent students from accessing services such as class registration, recreation services, library services, parking services, transcripts and other important services. Note, the University does not restrict access to dining services or housing.
All students are billed by e-mail notification only. Failing to receive an e-mail bill notification does not absolve the student of the responsibility of payment by the due date. Students have 24/7 access to view any term fee bill through accessing their student account.
Please note the following on how to remove a hold:
Enrollment holds are automatically removed every 15 minutes once the student pays their past-due balance.
Administrative holds are not automatically removed by the system. Students who pay their past-due balance must contact the Office of the Bursar to have an administrative hold removed manually. If payment is made by personal check or e-check, the Office of the Bursar must wait 7 business days to ensure the check has cleared before lifting an administrative hold. The hold can be released sooner if the student provides additional backup showing that the check has cleared.
Late Fee Policy
A late payment fee of $150 is payable by all students whose tuition and fees are not paid in full on the published fee bill due date. If after Day 10 of the semester, your bill remains unpaid you will be assessed a second $150 late fee. Checks returned by the bank for any reason are considered a late payment. Additionally, students will have services such as class registration denied if all fees have not been paid by the due date.
**Please note: If you enroll in courses after the established due date- payments are due within 10 calendar days.
Returned Check Policy
Checks returned by the bank for any reason will be removed from the account and late fees will apply. There is a $30 charge for any returned check.
