• Pay your Winter Mini-Term and/or Spring 2024 Semester balance.
  • Pay in full OR
  • Pay the 50% downpayment and enroll in a deferred payment plan.

There are two options for you to pay your balance:

1. Pay your entire balance in full before the payment deadline.
2. Sign up for a Deferred Payment Plan.

A Deferred Payment Plan gives you the opportunity to split the payment of your balance over three payment installments throughout the semester.

• First Payment – 50% of the initial balance (when you enroll in the payment plan)+ a $30.00 service charge fee
• Second Payment – 25% of the initial balance
• Third Payment – the remaining balance is due in full

Your payment’s due date depends on which payment plan you are enrolled in. Check the academic and financial dates and deadlines calendar at any time for dates and deadlines.

• If you are not signed up for a Deferred Payment Plan, your entire Winter Mini-Term and Spring 24 balance is due by Friday, January 12, 2024 at 4:30 p.m. EST.
• If you are enrolled in a Deferred Payment Plan, your payments will be split into three installments:
  • Payment #1: Make your first payment when you enroll in the payment plan, no later than Friday, January 12
  • Payment #2: Tuesday, February 27
  • Payment #3: Wednesday, March 27

• This option is free and includes no service charge to use.
  • Students: Pay via E-Check through your MyUTK 
  • Authorized User: Pay via E-Check through your AU portal 

• This option runs through a third-party, so there is a 2.95% service fee for all card payments.

  • The University of Tennessee
