 The following payment options are available to all Lab families:

Quarterly Payment Plan

The Quarterly Payment Plan is the default tuition payment option and carries no fee.  There is no enrollment required for this plan.

Lab tuition is billed in three installments, one each academic quarter. The Bursar will send EBill statements to your Billing Parent Contact email address and will include the payment due date.  You may pay your 2018-19 Lab tuition online at the Bursar's Lab Tuition Gateway.  The gateway requires payment for each student, so please enter one payment per child.  You will be prompted for the Student Name, your phone number, the 8-digit Student Account ID number (found on your EBill statement).  The EBill statement will have a link to the Bursar's Lab Tuition Gateway for electronic payments.  Note:  credit cards are not accepted through the gateway at this time.   For questions about making an international payment, please email labbilling@uchicago.edu for more information.

The 2018-19 quarterly EBills will be sent and due according to the schedule listed below:

Lab Deferred Monthly Payment Plan

The Deferred Monthly Payment Plan allows participants to defer the net annual tuition obligation across nine equal monthly installments paid over the course of the academic year. This plan carries a $75.00 annual enrollment fee.  $25.00 is payable with the first installment of each quarterly payment period.

Enrollment in this plan is valid for only one year and those who wish to remain on the plan must re-enroll each year. The Lab School Deferred Monthly Payment Plan Application must be submitted no later than July 16 to be effective for the upcoming academic year.  Monthly payments must be initiated each month using the payment site indicated on the monthly EBill.  Direct Debit is not a payment option with this plan.
