Your registration process is not complete until you have taken an action at the My Tuition Bill "view bill" web page. Whether you are paying directly, using financial aid funds or your tuition is covered by a third party (scholarships, Texas Guaranteed Tuition Plan, military benefits, etc.), you must take an action prior to the published deadline or your entire registration will be canceled.
Any balance on My Tuition Bill must be paid in full or on the installment plan by the payment deadline. Students who pay with financial aid are not eligible to change to the installment plan at a later date.
If you have a zero amount due, you must either click the "Confirm Attendance" or "Pay with Financial Aid" button on My Tuition Bill by the payment deadline to complete your registration. Failure to take action by the deadline will result in canceled registration and denied University services.
Tuition rates are available online. After payment is made, you may verify that your registration process is complete at My Tuition Bill. You should see a green message saying "Your registration is complete and your courses are secure." If you have any questions about tuition and fees, contact Tuition Billing at tuition@austin.utexas.edu or by calling (512) 475-7777 (option 1).

Payment plans
Full Payment Plan. Full payment or confirmation of attendance must be received no later than the payment deadline in the registration sequence table 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 the tuition, a nonrefundable $15 service charge, and the full amount of fees that cannot be paid on the installment plan, such as general property deposit, late registration fee, and international student fees. 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 cancelation of registration. The installment plan is not available to students who register after the twelfth class day or those who have paid their tuition with financial aid.
Students must sign a promissory note before the first installment plan payment will be accepted. To sign the note, go to My Tuition Bill and click on the Installment Plan Note link. Students who do not have an upgraded UT EID may sign a paper note at the Student Accounts Receivable Office in MAI 4.
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 Fri 22 Feb and Fri 29 Mar, whether or not the student receives the bill.
Selection of the three-payment installment plan constitutes an agreement to pay the remaining tuition and fees on time. A $25 late charge is assessed for second and third installment payments received after 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 Receipt.

Methods of payment
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 an upgraded 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. This payment method requires an upgraded EID and cannot be used by anyone acting as an eProxy.
Credit Card. Go to My Tuition Bill online to charge the total amount due to your MasterCard, Discover, Visa, or American Express card.
If payment is approved, the registration system will give you an authorization code confirming the transaction. A convenience fee of 2.3% will be charged at the time of payment for all tuition and mandatory fee payments made by credit card. (Rate is subject to change.)
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.
Checks may be presented to the cashiers in MAI 8, or for Registration Period 1 only, may be mailed. Your payment must be received by the payment deadline or your registration will be canceled. Make checks payable to The University of Texas at Austin and include your UT EID on the check. Multiple checks must be sent together to ensure proper account posting. All checks must be drawn on a bank within the United States of America.
It is critical that you do not mail a check to the commercial courier address through the US Postal Service.
Checks mailed using US Postal Service, including Express Mail overnight delivery, should be mailed to

If your check is returned to the University, for any reason, 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. For additional information regarding returned payments and charges assessed please see Student Accounts Receivable Returned Checks.
Cash. Do not mail cash payments. Cash payments must be presented to the cashiers in MAI 8 before 5:00 PM on the payment deadline.
Tuition loan. You may apply for tuition loans online. An upgraded EID and password are required to create the promissory note and electronically "sign." Students who have not upgraded their UT EIDs may apply for a loan and then go to the cashiers in MAI 8 by 4:30 PM the same day or the next business day (but by 5:00 PM on the payment deadline) to sign a promissory note and complete registration. You will be required to present a photo ID. Questions concerning tuition loans should be directed to Student Accounts Receivable, (512) 475-7725.
Zero bill. If your tuition is zero, you must still confirm your attendance before the payment deadline. If a third party, such as the Texas Guaranteed Tuition Plan, pays your tuition bill, you must confirm attendance before the payment deadline. You may do this via My Tuition Bill online. For additional information contact Student Accounts Receivable at (512) 475-7777, (option 1). 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 pay all of your tuition bill with your financial aid, you must do so by clicking the "Pay with Financial Aid" button on My Tuition Bill or pay any remaining balance by the payment deadline.
Questions about eligibility and financial aid awards should be directed to the University of Texas at Austin, Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid, General Accounting Section, 100 W Dean Keeton St., E3700, Austin TX 78712-1712.
If you are eligible for financial aid and choose to have registration charges 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 all of your tuition bill by the twelfth class day, you must make other arrangements to pay your bill in full by that date.
Students who elect to pay their tuition bill with financial aid are not eligible to change to the Installment Plan at a later time.
