Payment of Fees

Collection of all fees is handled by the Office of the Bursar. The fall semester fee bill is payable prior to August 1st; the spring semester is payable prior to January 8th. Payment in full is required and no exceptions to this policy are granted for partial payment of fees, unless enrolled in a University payment plan. Failure to make payment on time will result in cancellation of the privileges accorded to a student such as, but not limited to, use of recreational facilities, future registration, and other services. Students who register for additional courses after the payment due date have 10 days to make payment before considered late.

It is each student’s financial responsibility to make fee payments by the specified due dates. Failure to receive a fee bill does not relieve a student of fee payment responsibility. Students are required to agree to the Student Financial Responsibility Agreement prior to each semester’s registration. This agreement is a statement of the financial obligations and responsibilities each student assumes while attending UConn. Please refer to the Office of the Bursar website (bursar.uconn.edu) for more information on the agreement and on failure to pay.

If a check is returned by the bank for any reason, the student is charged a returned check fee. Please refer to the Office of the Bursar website for more information.

The payment of the fee bill is due in full prior to August 1st for the fall semester and January 8th for the spring semester. A late payment fee is payable by all undergraduate students whose tuition and fees are not paid in full on the published due date. Late payment fees may be assessed twice a semester. Checks returned by the bank for any reason are considered late payment. Students may have services denied if all fees have not been paid by the due date. Please refer to the Office of the Bursar website (bursar.uconn.edu) for more information.

Cancellations and Withdrawal Tuition and Fee Adjustments

All undergraduate students who withdraw from the University for any reason must secure from the Dean of Students Office (DOS) acknowledgement of their withdrawal and arrange with DOS the details of their leaving. No adjustments are made unless this procedure is followed.

If a student is dismissed after a semester, payments (if any) for the next semester will be adjusted with the exception of certain non-refundable deposits.
