Quarterly Payment Plan

The Quarterly Payment Plan is a payment plan that allows the payer to defer payment of the quarterly student account balance into three equal installments. All installments are paid before the end of the quarter. There is a fee for enrollment of $30 per quarter. Both undergraduate and select full-time Masters candidates are eligible to enroll in the quarterly payment plan.

Enrollment is required each quarter, and all students and Authorized Users may enroll in the plan once they receive their quarterly billing statement. Students may access registration through my.UChicago and Authorized Users through the Authorized User Portal. Only one individual may enroll in the plan per quarter for the Student Account. If you will receive financial aid, we encourage you to defer your enrollment until financial aid is credited to your student account. This process generally occurs ten days before the quarter begins.

Enrollees receive a monthly statement and also may enroll in auto-payments. Students can make payments electronically from both a domestic or an international bank account.

Payment plan balances may be updated with charges and credits after enrollment. If you need an increased rate for your payment plan, you will receive an email requesting approval to increase your payment plan amounts. If you do not accept a requested change to your budget within ten days of notification, your payment plan enrollment will be withdrawn, and all charges will be due immediately. If you need a decreased rate for your payment plan, your next payment will be decreased automatically. Those who do not complete their payment plan will not be allowed to enroll in a subsequent payment plan and are subject to late fees and Student Account Registration Holds. Additional payment plan terms are available for review at the time of enrollment.

Enrollment for the Quarterly Payment Plan opens when the first quarterly billing statement is issued and closes at the end of the quarterly add/drop period. Monthly payment dates follow the Monthly Billing Calendar (https://bursar.uchicago.edu/services/billing-information).
