Payment Obligation

By registering for classes at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC), you acknowledge financial responsibility for the confirmed courses resulting from this registration, and all fees assessed to your student account (including the student health insurance fee). You also accept responsibility for any additional costs related to your enrollment at the University including, but not limited to, room, board, parking, library fines, books and other class materials and any other departmental or college charges. By enrolling, you acknowledge that you are receiving an educational benefit from UIC, and that the costs associated with that benefit are an extension of credit from the University which is due and payable upon the date specified (normally the 16th business day of each month). UIC does not mail billing statements to students. If you are a currently enrolled student, you will receive e-mail notification early each month, at your university e-mail address, indicating when tuition and fee statements are available online. The online statement, called the E-Bill, allows you to see your charges in an easy-to read, user- friendly format.

A finance charge of 18% per annum (1.50% per month on the unpaid balance of each month) shall be assessed on past due accounts. You agree to pay all finance charges and late fees that may accrue on you account. You should also understand that if you fail to pay your tuition and fees in full as of the due date on the online statement, you may be required to sign a promissory note acknowledging the amount due and your obligation for repayment of that debt.

In addition, you understand that the University of Illinois at Chicago may refer your past due account for collection and may authorize legal action against you for the collection of this debt. You agree to be liable for all reasonable collection costs, including attorney fees, court costs, and other charges necessary for the collection of your past due account. You understand that if you allow your account to go into delinquent status, your registration, release of your transcript and diploma will be prohibited until such time as your account is paid in full.

Prepayment Plan

The U of I offers three pre-payment plans for allowing for payment of tuition, mandatory fees, room, and board charges to student accounts for the fall and spring semesters.  The University's Pre-Payment Plan is administered by Nelnet Business Solutions.  This is an optional pre-payment plan that students may enroll in as an alternative to the regular University payment policy (http://www.usfsco.uillinois.edu/Payments.html).  Accounts will not be assessed monthly late payment fees while enrolled in the Pre-Payment Plan.   For more information visit our Pre-Payment Plan page
