How payments work
UNCSA offers an interest-free monthly payment plan to help students manage their semester charges. Here's how it works:
- Initial Payment: After enrollment, an email reminder will be sent seven days before each payment installment due date.
- Due Dates: Installments must be paid for by the due date.
- Autopay: Installments are usually scheduled to auto-pay on the due date using your chosen payment method.
- Payment Process: To pay manually, use the Student Account Center to access the TouchNet billing portal. Select "Pay" next to an installment, enter the amount, and click "continue."
- Editing Payment Method: To change the payment method, click the edit button beside each installment in the Student Account Center. Ensure your payment method remains valid throughout the plan.
- Avoid Duplicate Payments: Check auto-pay and manual payments against each other to avoid making duplicate payments.
Note: Credit/debit card payments incur a 3% service fee and are only accepted online. Electronic check payments do not have a service fee.
Calculating payments
UNCSA offers estimated payment plans to help students and families manage their semester charges by spreading payments over several months. These plans are available before actual billing occurs, allowing for more manageable monthly payments while still meeting semester deadlines. Plans will automatically be rolled over into the 3-Payment Plan Option at the start of the semester.
If you prefer to wait until the invoice is distributed, UNCSA offers a 3-Payment Plan based on the current balance. No extensions will be provided outside of these plans.
Estimated Payment Plans
Estimated 5-Payment Plan:
- Enrollment Period: Mid-May to mid-June (Fall), Mid-October to mid-November (Spring).
- Initial Payment: 20% of estimated charges plus a $50 non-refundable fee.
- Remaining Payments: Four monthly payments due.
- Estimation: Students estimate their tuition, fees, and financial aid to calculate payments. These estimates are adjusted to actual amounts once bills are finalized in early July (Fall) or early December (Spring).
Estimated 4-Payment Plan:
- Enrollment Period: Mid-June to mid-July (Fall), Mid-November to mid-December (Spring).
- Initial Payment: 25% of estimated charges plus a $50 non-refundable fee.
- Remaining Payments: Three monthly payments due.
- Estimation: Similar to the 5-payment plan, students estimate their charges and financial aid. Adjustments are made once actual bills are issued.
Both plans help students spread out their payments and adjust to actual charges once finalized. It's important to review your payment amounts before each scheduled payment to ensure accuracy.
Invoiced Payment Plan
3-Payment Plan:
- Enrollment Period: Available after invoiced billing occurs, July (Fall), December (Spring)
- Initial Payment: 34% of actual billed charges plus a $50 non-refundable fee.
- Remaining Payments: Two monthly payments due.
- Adjustments: Installments may change based on account activity after initial plan enrollment. New charges and credits are spread equally across remaining payment installments.
Missed Payments
If payments are missed or returned, it may result in cancellation of classes, a past due hold on the student account, or termination of the payment plan. If terminated, the full account balance is due immediately.
Cancelling a payment plan
To cancel your payment plan, contact an administrator at studentaccounts@uncsa.edu. Plans can be cancelled if the account is paid in full, the current term balance is zero, or there is a credit balance. Once removed from the plan, students are responsible for any additional charges. Note that enrollment fees are non-refundable.
