  • Payment Plan – this per semester plan offers 5-months, 4-months, or 3-months of extending your payments and must be setup via your Student Administration account. There is a $100.00 non-refundable enrollment fee each semester you enroll in this plan. The due dates for Fall semester are July – November 15th of each month. For Spring semester the due dates are December – April 15th of each month. All information is given at the time of enrolling in the plan. The last day to enroll in the payment plan is the 10th day of the semester. 
  • In-person by mailing in/dropping off personal check, bank check, money order, scholarship check, 529 check. We are located on 3rd floor, room 301.
  • Online payments via Student Administration portal – student/authorized user can make a credit card, debit card, e-check, or setup your CHET 529 payment. There is a 2.75% convenience fee with each credit/debit card transaction. Electronic check payments are free.
  • Payroll Deductions for Graduate Students only. Graduate Assistants who would like a portion of their stipend applied to their fee bill, may apply for automatic payroll deduction up until the 10th day of classes. Applications are accepted online only by logging into the Student Administration System prior to the start of the semester. In order to avoid late fees, graduate students must remind their respective department to complete the payroll authorization in order to access this system.

International Student Payments

Pay with Foreign Currency

University of Connecticut is partnered with Flywire offering students the ability to pay their fee bills with foreign currency via an international account. Students and Authorized Users can login to the payment portal to make a wire transfer.  UConn DOES NOT give out banking information and we can only track payments made through Flywire.

For more information regarding wire transfers, please visit Flywire.

Important: UConn does not partner with Easy Transfer.  If paying with an international account, please only utilize Flywire.  Please be aware of scams and ensure you are only using one of the University-approved payment methods.

Additional instructions for payments from China

Students and Authorized Users making payments from China must provide documentation that meets the requirements of the People’s Bank of China and the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (SAFE).

Background on the SAFE requirements

In 2015, the People’s Bank of China and SAFE launched a project to allow licensed Payment Service Providers (PSPs) like Flywire to process cross-border foreign exchange payments from China. While reviewing the program, SAFE increased oversight of PSPs by conducting on-site audits and aggressively enforcing existing regulations of foreign exchange transactions. SAFE’s main objectives are to ensure:

  • The authenticity of the underlying transactions
  • Accurate, complete, and timely recordkeeping, and
  • That PSPs are not exceeding the scope of their license.

What is required from students paying from China?

Students must submit a statement from their university to their payment processor that includes the university logo, student’s name, and amount of tuition and fee charges. The Term Statement meets all of these requirements and is easy for students or Authorized Users to generate themselves in the Online Bill and Payment System. Please note that collection of this document is required regardless of who is processing the payment.

Next, follow the payment instructions:

Once you have saved your Term Statement as a PDF document, follow the “Step-by-step instructions for all international payments,” in the gray bar above. Flywire will prompt you when it is time to upload your Term Statement.
