YOUR HOUSING ACCOUNT
Tuition, housing, and meal plan fees are combined on the same bill, which is paid through the Office of the Bursar.
Charges from HRE will be due on the same date that tuition is due. If you wish, you may set up a four- or five-month payment plan to spread out the costs. More information about payment plans can be found below. To sign up, visit the Office of the Bursar.
U OF U PAYMENT PLAN
Because housing and meal plan charges are on the same bill as your tuition statement, students may sign up for a payment plan each semester through the Office of the Bursar.
What are the benefits?
- Pay your bill in easy monthly installments, rather than in one lump sum at once.
- No-hassle withdrawals are automatically deducted each month from your designated domestic checking or savings account or charged to a credit card.
- Calculate the amount you wish to have in your payment plan. Your own monthly payment amount and time frame can be calculated with the payment estimator tool.
- Pay all tuition, mandatory fees, and room and board charges billed to your U of U student account.
- More information about payment plans can be found on the Office of the Bursar's website.
How does it work?
The University of Utah works with a secure third-party provider, Nelnet, who will withdraw the monthly amount from your designated domestic checking or savings account, or charge your credit card, the same day each month. Because you manage your plan, you can choose your method of payment and the payment plan.
Please see the payment schedule below if you choose to pay monthly for the fall semester:
| Number of Payments | Enrollment Deadline | Payment Withdrawn from Bank Account (Approximate Date) |
|---|---|---|
| 5 | June 14 through July 20 | Monthly on July, August, September, October, and November 22. |
| 4 | July 21 to the tuition due date on September 1 | A down payment of one-fourth of the total amount due along with the enrollment fee will be required when you enroll. Installments will be deducted monthly on the September October, and November 22. Please be aware that if your down payment fails, your payment plan will be canceled immediately, you may be assessed a late fee, and your classes could be dropped. |
Payment plan enrollment is fast and simple. To enroll:
- Use the payment estimator tool to estimate your monthly tuition payments.
- You can use the rate information on the Housing & Residential Education rates page to add to the plan your estimated HRE charges. You do not have to create a payment plan for the full amount. You can make a payment on your account and create a plan for the remainder, as long as your account is paid in full by the due date or you are signed up for a payment plan for the difference.
- If you are a student, you must log in to your CIS account.
- From the main menu, click on Tuition Bill/Pay. Follow the payment plan links and instructions.
WAYS TO PAY YOUR BILL
Residents can pay for their charges on their tuition account in the following ways:
- Online:
- Credit/Debit: Visa/Mastercard, Discover, and American Express
- E-Check (connected to your banking account)
- Flywire (for international students)
- In-Person:
- Cashier's Office, located in the Student Services Building, Room 165
Financial Aid Transfer
Residents who have financial aid and scholarships over and above the cost of their tuition and fees will have the remaining aid automatically applied to their housing and meal plan bill. Residents will no longer need to request this separately or in Housing U. Any remaining credit, after all tuition and housing charges are paid will be refunded back to the student.
Missed Payment or Failed Payments
If you have an unsuccessful payment, Nelnet will assess a $30 fee and retry the payment on the 7th of the following month. If both transactions are unsuccessful and you miss a payment, your payment plan will be canceled. Then, you will be assessed a $60 late fee, the balance will be due in full, and a registration hold will be placed on your student account.
Housing U Payments
The Housing Application and Reservation Fees will still be paid through Housing U as they occur during the Housing Application and Room Reservation processes. Visit the Housing & Residential Education office during business hours (Monday—Friday 8 a.m.-5 p.m.)

STUDENT RECORD PRIVACY
Family Members Providing Financial Support
"I'm the one paying their bill, why can't you tell me their account total?"
This is a common question we receive from parents/guardians. We greatly appreciate your involvement and support of your student living on campus.
The housing contract is with the student and thereby the cost of housing is their responsibility. If a student has passed that responsibility on to another party, whether explicitly or inherently, then the student needs to take responsibility for releasing any information as well.
The university has a process for students to identify individuals that they would like to have access to certain pieces of information in the student’s record. Within Housing & Residential Education, students can use this online waiver form to release financial information.
Student directions: If you would like HRE and the Office of the Bursar to discuss your financial information with your parent/guardian so they can pay toward your account, please follow the instructions below.
- Log in to the Campus Information Services page.
- Select the link “FERPA RELEASE CONSENT” in the Finance section on the right side.
- After the release form loads, check "Housing & Residential Education" and "Office of the Bursar" as an area of release.
- Create a PIN. (Important: The person you are selecting to release information to will need to know this when they call the office).
- Designate the individual(s) to whom you would like to release information.
