How to Pay Tuition and Fees–ALL QUARTERS
Billing procedure
1. Tuition for the quarter is billed and due to be paid approximately one month before the start of a quarter, (except the Summer quarter). A deferment will be allowed for that portion of the charges to be paid by loans and stipend checks. A Late Payment Fee of $100 will be assessed to any student whose balance due is not received by the Northern Trust Company as of the due date indicated on a bill.

2. After the first week of a quarter, the Office of the Bursar will prepare bills for accounts with outstanding balances. These bills will include any adjustments or changes. No further deferments will be allowed for loans or stipends on this bill. Payment will be due approximately three weeks after the mailing dates.

3. The bill will be mailed to the designated billing address (the current, local, or campus address) which the student must provide and keep current at all times.

4. If the bill is not received by the end of the second week following registration, the Office of the Bursar should be notified. Claims of failure to receive a bill will not be sufficient reason for requesting a waiver of the Late Payment Fee.

Payments
NOTE: ALL PAYMENTS SHOULD BE MAILED TO THE ADDRESS SPECIFIED ON THE BILL
1. Students should make their check or money order payable to the University of Chicago and should include their ID number. They should mail the payment in the enclosed envelope, along with the return portion of the statement, to the return address on the face of the bill, allowing sufficient time for it to reach the office by the due date listed. Students should insure that the address appears in the window of the return envelope. A cancelled check will serve as receipt of payment. Under no circumstances should a student mail cash.

2. Payment to the account by someone other than the student will be accepted by the University in the name of the student. However, any refund or credit balance due to withdrawal or overpayments will be made directly to the student.

3. The $100 late payment penalty will be assessed, and accounts and records restricted, if checks are not received by the due date.

Tuition Refund Schedule-ALL QUARTERS
1. Students allowed to drop all or part of their registrations will be granted a reduction of a portion of the original charges according to the schedule below. Approval of dropping any course or withdrawal from a program, including the date on which this action takes effect, must be certified by the student’s Dean of Students.

o End of first week of a quarter or equivalent Last day for full refund of charges
o End of third week of a quarter or equivalent Last day for 65% reduction of tuition charges
(Final day for all students to drop courses; grades of W will be recorded for courses dropped after the third week of the quarter)
o End of fourth week of a quarter or equivalent Last day for 50% reduction of tuition charges (only applicable for certain graduate students)
o End of fifth week of a quarter Last day for 30% reduction of tuition charges (only applicable for certain graduate students)

2. After first week, only portions of tuition charges will be refunded. All fees will be due as charged. An approved tuition charges reduction will be reflected on a bill issued by the Bursar after formal notification of the student's withdrawal by the Registrar.

3. A student who is permitted to change courses by dropping and adding one or more courses will be given full tuition credit for the courses dropped to be applied toward the tuition charges for the courses added if the drop and add occur simultaneously.

4. A student whose registration is withdrawn for disciplinary reasons is not entitled to a refund of tuition.

Restrictions-ALL QUARTERS
IMPORTANT: A student who fails to settle any account due the University will not be considered a student in good standing. The University reserves the right to restrict the future registration of such a student, to withhold the awarding of a diploma, to withhold transcripts of academic records, and to restrict the use of University resources.
