Welcome back to the University of Chicago!
Here are a few quick steps to keep you and your support network financially ready for the year. Each one links to the page with the full details.
Check your quarterly EBill in the my.UChicago student portal, and add Authorized Users so your support network can view and pay. For dates and amounts, see Billing Information, the Billing Calendar, and Tuition and Fees. You will start on the Unlimited Meal Plan. Compare options on Meal Plans, and request Phoenix Cash.
You're automatically enrolled in USHIP unless you waive it each year (waiver opens yearly on August 1st). Have your own coverage? Waive by the deadline on the Student Wellness website.
Expecting a refund? Set up Direct Deposit in my.UChicago starting August 1. Details on Refunds.
Have an outside award? Submit it through the UChicago BackPack Portal as soon as you're notified without the hassle of paper checks. If your provider needs an invoice, use Third-Party Contract Billing instead. Autumn priority deadline: September 5.
Using a 529 or state prepaid plan? Contact your administrator about 60 days before each quarter and add the account owner as an Authorized User. Pay through my.UChicago, the Authorized User Portal, or the BackPack Portal.
Prefer to pay in installments? Split each quarter's balance into three. Enroll once your statement posts, through my.UChicago or the Authorized User Portal. See the Quarterly Payment Plan page for eligibility, fees, and details.
First, confirm you have no student account holds for this year. Then review the Bursar's account policies,Add/Drop, Leave of Absence and Withdrawal, and the Financial Responsibility Agreement you will e-sign your first quarter.
