Payment Plan Process
When an account is 76 days past due, eligible students, based on account balance, are offered a collection payment plan that carries no interest. If eligible for this payment plan, a “Welcome Email” with instructions and the link to “Get Started Now” will be sent. Only students can enroll in a collection payment plan. Students activate their payment plan by selecting the number of installments they prefer, the date they want their automated payment to be processed every month and their preferred payment method. There is a one-time non-refundable $35 enrollment fee due at the time of activation.
Collection payment plans can also be customized, within guidelines and limitations, to fit the student's monthly budget by contacting the UC Collections staff.
Please note: Students will not be permitted to register for a new term, have access to their official transcript(s), or diplomas until the account balance is paid in full, even if the student is enrolled in a collection payment plan.
