The 9-Pay Annual Payment Plan (APP)

The APP is 9 months in length and payments are due on the 1st of each month beginning in September through May of the academic year. The plan carries an enrollment fee of $75.00 annually.  Enrollment in the plan is open beginning 8/6/2018 and will remain open until 10/19/2018.

Once enrolled, the first installment and the $75 enrollment fee are due immediately, and thereafter you will be billed the first of each month.  Automatic monthly deductions from checking or savings* is the preferred method of payment, and incurs no additional cost.  Payments must be made online if you do not elect to participate in automatic deductions. Late payments will be assessed a fee. Details are available at the time of enrollment.

Enrollees will continue to receive a monthly Ebill reflecting their payments and charges for their records. Payment due dates in the Ebill can be ignored as due dates are determined by the payment plan.

*Please note credit cards are not accepted for tuition payments.

Payment plan budget amounts are calculated from the difference between your total annual charges and total expected credits and/or financial aid.

• Annual charges are based on your enrollment as a full-time student and individual choices regarding housing, study abroad and student insurance. 
• Credits are determined by the individual resources you have access to beyond your payment plan including any outside scholarships or financial aid expected to be paid on your behalf.

 If you are a financial aid recipient and have applied for financial aid for the upcoming year, a financial aid award package is necessary to calculate an accurate budget when enrolling in the APP. For more information regarding the status of your financial aid award package please contact the Office of College Aid.

Here is a sample 2018-2019 APP budget for a typical First-year College student:

* If you are participating in an optional College Pre-Orientation program, include the cost in your budget.  Current Rates

Enrollment opens August 6, 2018.

The first installment and a $75 fee will be due upon enrollment.

Students may enroll themselves or Authorize a Payer to enroll in the payment plan on their behalf.  Only one enrollment in the plan is allowed per Student Account. 

• Students may enroll in the plan via my.uchicago.edu and EBill/EPay.
• Authorized Payers may enroll in the plan via their own Portal*.  

In order to determine an accurate calculation of your APP budget, ensure that students and families have available any financial aid, scholarships, or additional funding contributing toward their balance before enrolling in the APP.

Budgets are reconciled quarterly after the add/drop period with your actual quarterly charges and credits. If your budget does not satisfy your Student Account balance due it will be adjusted accordingly.  These changes will be sent for your approval to the email you provided upon enrollment.

If you do not accept these requested changes to your budget within 10 days of notification, your payment plan enrollment will be withdrawn and all charges will be immediately due.

You must contact the Office of the Bursar to make any changes to your payment plan after enrollment has been completed.

Automatic disenrollment from the payment plan will occur when two consecutive payments are not received and the total balance due will be due at that time.

A detailed enrollment guide and additional terms of the payment plan are available for review at the time of enrollment.
