University Billing and Payment Policy

 

Effective the Fall 2009 semester the University of Connecticut is moving into the era of electronic billing. It is anticipated that the Fall 2009 fee bills will be ready for viewing by June 23, 2009.
 
E-billing offers several benefits. These include:
 
• The option for students to designate an authorized user such as a parent or significant other to do business on their behalf
 
• Helping to keep tuition and fee costs down by lowering the University’s costs of doing business
 
• A “green dividend” through a dramatic decrease in paper consumption for such things as fee bills, envelopes and inserts, thus helping to conserve our natural resources
 
• Elimination of the current $5.00 online e-check fee (effective June 23)
 
• 24x7 access to your bill from any location with a web browser
 
Prior to each semester, students and authorized users will be notified by e-mail when their e-bill is ready to be viewed. Students and authorized users may pay their e-bills online by e-check or by credit card (note: a 2.5% convenience fee applies for credit cards). Traditional paper checks will also continue to be accepted, however, checks will now be scanned and converted to electronic payments.
 

More information about our conversion to e-billing will be forthcoming. Please be sure to check www.bursar.uconn.edu for regular updatesThe Fee bill will be based on the student's registration at the time of the bill. Any changes made after the initial billing (adds/drops/changes in financial aid) will be reflected in PeopleSoft. However, the new balance due must still be paid by the tenth business day of the semester. The balance due refers to the balance that you are required to pay the University of Connecticut after all eligible financial aid has been deducted from your semester charges. Any time a change has been made to your registration, you will be notified via Law School e-mail when the change has affected your tuition and fees.

Beginning August 1, incoming students with outstanding balances on their fee bills will have a "Bursar hold" placed on their accounts. Beginning September 9, returning students with outstanding balances on their accounts will also have a "Bursar hold" placed on their accounts. This hold prevents students from accessing services such as class registration, transcripts and computer or e-mail services. If the past due balance is less than $100, this hold will prevent student from obtaining official transcripts. It will not prevent students from adjusting their schedules. If the past due balance is greater than $100, this hold will prevent students from making changes to their schedules.

If you have a negative service indicator on your record, you can learn more about it by logging in to PeopleSoft Student Services Center by navigating:

Menu > Self Service > Student Center

An account deemed uncollectible by the University may be referred to a collection agency. The University of Connecticut makes every effort to advise students in advance of their account status so that outside collection activity is kept to a minimum.
