Payment procedures

Your registration is not complete until you have gone to My Tuition Bill and made arrangements to have your tuition/fee bill paid. Whether you are paying directly, via financial aid, or via a third party (grants, scholarships, Texas Guaranteed Tuition Plan, etc.), you must indicate that you will attend and/or arrange for payment. If you do not pay your fee bill in full or in accordance with an approved installment plan or indicate that you are paying via financial aid or a third party, you are not registered and you may not attend classes or use University services. It is your responsibility to ensure that your registration has been completed.

To obtain a tuition/fee bill quote or to verify completion of registration, go to My Tuition Bill. If you have questions about tuition and fees, contact Tuition and Fee Billing at fbic@austin.utexas.edu or by phone at (512) 475-7777.

Undergraduate students who register by 4 January must make payment or confirm attendance by 5:00 pm on 4 January; those who register after 4 January must make payment or confirm attendance by the deadline given in the appropriate access period. Graduate and professional students who register by 17 January must make payment or confirm attendance by 5:00 pm on 17 January; those who register after 17 January must make payment or confirm attendance by the deadlines given in the registration sequence table.

Payment Plans.

Full Payment Plan. For undergraduates who register by 4 Jan, full payment or confirmation of attendance must be received by 5pm on 4 Jan. Undergraduates who register after 4 Jan must make payment or confirm attendance by the deadline specified under Registration Procedure Summaries or as instructed at the time of registration. Graduate and professional students must make payment by 5pm on 17 Jan or as instructed at the time of registration.

Three-payment installment plan. Tuition and required fees may be paid in three installments. The first installment consists of one-half of tuition and required fees, a nonrefundable $8 service charge, and the full amount of fees that cannot be paid on the installment plan, such as optional fees, general deposit, late registration fee, and international student health insurance fee. For students who register by 4 Jan, the first installment is due by 5:00pm 4 Jan. For student who register after 4 Jan, the first installment is due by the deadline specified in the registration sequence table or as instructed at the time of registration. No late initial installment payments will be accepted; failure to pay the first installment by the due date will result in cancellation of registration. The installment plan is not available to students who register after the twelfth class day.

Students must sign a promissory note before the first installment plan payment will be accepted. To sign the note, go to My Tuition Bill - Promissory Note. Students who do not have a high-assurance UT EID may sign a paper note at the cashiers in MAI 8.

The second and third installments each consist of one-half of the remaining balance, adjusted for adds and drops. Bills for these payments are sent to the student's e-mail address. Paper bills are not mailed. These installments are due 15 Feb and 21 Mar, whether or not the student receives the bill.

Selection of the three-payment payment installment plan constitutes an agreement to pay the remaining tuition and fees on time. A $10 late charge is assessed for second and third installment payments received after 5pm on the due date. If you select the installment plan and subsequently receive a financial aid award, your total tuition and fees will be deducted from your award at the time of disbursement.

To check for receipt of a tuition payment, go to Official Fee Receipts.

Direct questions about tuition bills to Tuition and Fee Billing, MAI 4, (512) 475-7777. E-mail inquiries may be sent to fbic@austin.utexas.edu.

Methods of payment.

NOTE: Payment must be received prior to 5pm 21 Dec in order for it to be reflected on the student's 2007 IRS form 1098-T.

Electronic Bank Payment. There are two options available for paying online directly from your bank account. To select either option, go to My Tuition Bill online. Electronic payments that are returned to the University, regardless of the reason, will be treated the same as returned checks. Tuition and financial bars cannot be paid by electronic funds if you have a "no personal check" restriction with Student Accounts Receivable.

• eCheck. You may pay online just as though you were using a traditional paper check. No authorization form is required. This option does not require a high-assurance EID and can be used by anyone acting as an eProxy.
• Electronic funds transfer. You may pay by direct transfer of funds from your bank using a pre-established account if you have completed an Electronic Funds Transfer Authorization form. Authorizations may be completed online.

Discover or MasterCard. Go to My Tuition Bill online to charge the total amount due to your MasterCard or Discover.

If payment is approved, the registration system will give you an authorization code confirming the transaction. A 1.75% convenience charge will be added to all tuition and mandatory fee payments made by credit card.

Check or money order. All checks must be drawn on US banks in US dollars. Collection charges resulting from checks drawn otherwise will be charged to the student.

Payment must be placed in the drop slot near the entrance to MAI 12 or, for early registration only, may be mailed. (See early registration below.) Your payment must be received by the payment deadline or your registration will be canceled. Include your UTEID on your check. Send multiple checks together to ensure proper account posting.

If your check is returned to the University, your registration will be incomplete. If payment is not received within ten calendar days of the returned check notice, you will not be registered for classes.

Cash. Do not mail cash payments. Cash payments must be presented to the cashiers in MAI 8 before 5pm on the payment deadline.

Western Union Quick Collect. To use Quick Collect, complete a blue Quick Collect Payment Form at a Western Union Office (call 1-800-325-6000 to locate the nearest office), indicating that the amount is payable to University Texas Austin, the code city is Longhorns, TX, and the type of payment is registration. You must also give your name and UTEID.

Tuition loan. You may apply for tuition loans online. A high assurance EID and password are required to create the promissory note and electronically "sign." Students with low to medium assurance UT EIDs may apply for a loan and then go to the cashiers in MAI 8 by 4:30pm the same day or the next business day (but by 5:00pm on the payment deadline) to sign a promissory note and complete your registration. You will be required to present a photo ID. Questions concerning tuition loans should be directed to Student Accounts Receivable, (512) 475-7779 (option 2).

Zero bill. If your fees are zero, you must still confirm your attendance before the payment deadline. If a third party, such as the Texas Guaranteed Tuition Plan or a grant or scholarship, pays your tuition/fee bill, you must still confirm attendance before the payment deadline. You may do this via My Tuition Bill online or by calling (512) 475-7777. If you do not plan to attend classes, do not confirm and we will cancel your registration; Student Accounts Receivable will not bill the agency, scholarship, or account for the fees. If you have confirmed and then choose not to attend, you must follow normal withdrawal procedures.

Financial aid. If you are eligible to charge your fee bill to your financial aid, you may request this charge via the My Tuition Bill site by the payment deadline.

Questions about eligibility should be directed to the University of Texas at Austin, Office of Student Financial Services, General Accounting Section, 100 W Dean Keeton St, Austin TX 78705.

If you are eligible for financial aid and choose to have registration fees paid directly from your financial aid account by the payment deadline, you will be tentatively registered. If, for any reason, the expected financial aid is not available to pay the registration fees by the twelfth class day, you must make other arrangements to pay fees by that date.
