Payment Options


All university billing is done via eBill. Students need to review their online eBill for any payment obligations. Financial aid (except Federal Work-Study) will be applied directly to the eBill. Absent aid is an indication that the aid process for those funds may be incomplete.

Students should be prepared to pay their bill on schedule as they are responsible for paying any remaining portion of the eBilling as follows:

  • Online Payment: Payment can be made online using personal check information at no charge.  Use of Mastercard, Discover, or American Express credit card can be done for a non-refundable service fee of 2.5%.
  • Payment by Mail: Print remittance from online eBill and submit with personal check to address indicated.
  • In Person Payment: Payments of cash or check can be made at the depository on the 2nd floor of University Pavilion (next to One Stop) or at a branch campus business office.
  • TMS Payment Plan: The university offers an extended payment plan through a third party vendor. Additional details about the plan are available by calling 1-800-722-4867, ext. 700.

Questions about payment can be directed to the Cashier's Office (cashiers.office@uc.edu or 513-556-4252).

LATE PAYMENT PENALTIES
Bills must be paid in full or the student must join the payment plan in order to avoid penalties. A quarterly $200 late fee will be charged on unpaid bills. As well, students with unpaid balances will be restricted from adding classes for the unpaid quarter and registering from future quarters until the balance is paid. Further blocks from receiving transcripts and other university services may also be imposed.

Students who fail to have their aid in place when the term begins need to pay their full bill and receive aid as a reimbursement when eligible. Delays in payment are not authorized for incomplete financial aid applications or processes.

Bills that continue to remain unpaid through UC collection efforts will be turned over to the Ohio Attorney General's Office for further collection action. 

REFUNDS
If additional financial aid is received after the eBill is paid or if aid funds exceed the charges, a refund will be issued. Refunds from student aid sources will be direct deposited or mailed to students. Refund checks from Federal Parent PLUS Loans will be sent to parents.  For more information on Credit Balance Refund Processing <click here>
