Fee Payment Instructions

Failure to make payment as stated above can result in the assessment of a $200 late fee and may result in a service block that will prevent processing of grades and transcripts and the ability to register for the following term. Students having an outstanding balance will be notified by email each month as a reminder that payment was due at the time of registration. [See also the "Installment Payment Plan" section below.]

1. In-Person Payment - In-person payments may be made weekdays at the Cashier's Office from 8:15 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. A depository safe located at the Clifton Campus Cashier's Office may be used to deposit payments and confirmations. Branch campus business office hours are published with branch campus information.
2. Payment by Mail - Enclose the bottom portion of the Student Account Statement (which can be printed from the One Stop web site) with payments made by check or money order made payable to University of Cincinnati. Include student's name and social security number on checks. Send payment to the Cashier's Office, University of Cincinnati, Department 00303, Cincinnati, Ohio 45274-0303. Do not mail cash or credit card information. Do not write on the bottom portion of the statement except to indicate the amount enclosed or to confirm registration.
3. Please note that effective Fall, 2006, credit cards will only be accepted for payments made via the web, and VISA will not be a web option. 
4. Payment by Electronic Check (ACH) - Payments can be made electronically through the Automated Clearing House (ACH) by a direct charge to your banking account. You may enroll to use "electronic checks" by clicking on Pay My Bill under My Bill section of www.onestop.uc.edu. There is no charge for this service.
5. Receipts for Payment - The student's cancelled check is his/her receipt. If another receipt is needed, a stamped, self-addressed envelope should be included with payment. Receipts may be obtained at the Cashier's Office or branch campus business offices during regular business hours.
6. Installment Payment Plan - The University of Cincinnati offers an interest-free installment plan through Tuition Management Systems (TMS). Students may choose a quarterly plan consisting of three equal installments for that quarter's fees. Another option is the academic-year plan consisting of nine equal installments covering the fees for Autumn, Winter, and Spring Quarters combined. A third option consists of 12 equal installments for the fall, winter and spring terms combined. The 12-month plan payments begin in June prior to the beginning of the Autumn Quarter. The only cost of these plans is an enrollment fee. TMS bills students monthly and assesses late fees if payments are not received by the due date. Enroll directly with TMS via their Web site at www.afford.com or by calling their Educational Payment Counselor at 1-800-722-4867, ext 725. TMS can be reached by phone between the hours of 8 a.m. and 10 p.m. weekdays and between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. Saturday (EST). Enrollment forms are available at various offices on campus including the One Stop Student Services Center. The USAs in the One Stop Center and the Education Payment Counselor at TMS are available to help you calculate the amount to be covered by the payment plan. If the total amount to be covered by the payment plan per enrollment does not cover the total balance outstanding on the student's account, the Student Accounts Office will send monthly statements notifying the student of an outstanding balance in excess of the payment plan total. If a student enrolled in the payment plan receives a separate bill from the University, he/she should call TMS and revise the payment plan. Questions about an excess outstanding balance should be referred to the Student Accounts Office.
