The University of Connecticut is excited to announce an important change regarding the optional installment payment plan for fee bills.  Effective the Fall 2008 semester, students and families who desire a payment plan will contract directly with the University of Connecticut.  Accordingly, payment plans will no longer be available through Tuition Management Systems. 

For those desiring to participate in the new plan, enrollment is expected to begin on June 25, 2008.  The plan is interest-free, however, there is an enrollment fee of $35 per semester.

The new installment payment plan has several advantages:

• Payment plans are set up quickly and easily on a self-service basis directly in your PeopleSoft student account.

• Students may grant payment plan access to one or more authorized users such as a parent.

• Because the plan is internal to the university, budgets are no longer “estimated” but instead are based on your actual fee bill.

• The schedule of payments is far more “friendly” than the old plan.  The first installment payment is not due until July 15 for fall semesters and December 15 for spring semesters.  Each semester consists of four (4) installment payments. 

• The plan automatically sends out e-mail notifications concerning changes in your fee bill and the impact on your payment plan budget.  This eliminates the risk of under-budgeting or over-budgeting.

The University of Connecticut recognizes that paying for higher education represents one of life’s largest investments.   Our goal is to give you as many tools as possible to assist with that and we hope this optional new program will be of value to you.
