    Deferred Payment Plan

    A Deferred Payment Plan (DPP) is a payment option available to students in good financial standing who have a current semester balance of $100 or more. The DPP provides more time and flexibility in managing and paying each semester’s balance.

    The DPP requires students to pay an initial 50% of the total semester charges (upon payment plan enrollment) plus a $30 service charge, by the semester’s due date. A second and third payment installment follow in the next two months after the initial 50% payment.

    • Students who pay at least 50% but do not enroll themselves in the DPP will be added to a plan for a $40 fee.
    • Students who do not pay 100% of their charges by the due date are required to enroll in the DPP.

    The Office of The Bursar reserves the right to add a student to a DPP if the student has an unpaid balance over $100 as of the payment due date. There is a $40 fee when the Office of the Bursar adds a student to a DPP.

    Your payment plan installments may change based on any additional credits or charges that are added to your account in between payment due dates.

    How to Enroll in a Payment Plan 

    • Log into your MyUTK account.
    • Under “My Resources”, select “Pay Fees/Account Balances.”
    • Select “Payment Plans.”
    • Pay your 50% balance down payment to complete your enrollment.

    How the DPP Works

    1. The first installment of 50% of total term charges is due upon payment plan enrollment and must be made by the payment due date.
    2. The second installment of 25% of the remaining account balance is due the next month. 
    3. The final installment (the remainder of the account balance) is due a month later.

    Note: There is a $35 late fee if you do not pay the installments on time, even if you do not receive a reminder statement. All unpaid fees and charges must be paid in order to access registration services, receive a transcript, grades, or a diploma.

    All existing rules and policies pertaining to returned checks, refunds, withdrawal from school, dropped classes, application of financial aid to unpaid accounts, reinstatement, service charges, and collection costs are applicable to the DPP.

    If you are not eligible for the DPP, you must pay 100% of the total term charges by the due date so your course schedule isn’t canceled.
