    Account Statements

    Before classes start each semester, you’ll be notified that your Account Statement is available to view in MyUTK. Your Account Statement lists the total amount of tuition and fees for the term, your financial aid and scholarships, and your remaining balance.

    How to View Your Account Statement

    One Stop Tutorial: Account Statements

    Students

    1. Log in to MyUTK using your NetID and password.
    2. Click View Statement at the bottom of the My Financial Information section.
    3. Follow the on-screen instructions to navigate to the payment portal, view your statement, enroll in a payment plan, and make payments.

    Authorized Users

    1. Log in to the AU Portal using your username and password.
      • If you are not already registered as your student’s Authorized User, request that your student adds you as one!
    2. Click View Current Statement in the Statements section.
    3. Follow the on-screen prompts to view Account Statements, enroll in the Payment Plan, and may payments on behalf of your student.

    Understand Your Payment Options

    Once you have accepted your financial aid and viewed your Account Statement, there are two payment options:

    • One-time Payment: Pay your balance in full by the Payment Due Date. If you choose to make a one-time payment, you do not need to enroll in a payment plan. To select this option, simply pay 100% of your balance.
    • Payment Plan: Enroll in the payment plan and pay 50% of your balance by the Payment Due Date. Once enrolled in the payment plan, you must make two additional payments (25% of your total balance) during the semester. Make each payment on time to avoid a $35 late fee for each late payment.

    GradGuard Tuition Insurance

    UT partners with GradGuard to offer optional tuition insurance. GradGuard can reimburse up to 100% of your nonrefundable school costs after a mid-semester withdrawal for a covered illness, injury, and more.

    One Stop Tutorial: Making Payments

    After deciding whether to make a one-time payment or enroll in the Payment Plan, select one of the following payment methods:

    Pay Online via MyUTK or AU Portal

    • E-Check: Make a secure, no-fee payment directly from a checking or savings account. This is UT’s preferred payment method.
    • Credit or Debit Card: Pay online using a credit or debit card. A 2.95% vendor service fee applies to all card transactions. This fee is charged by the payment processor, not UT.

    Pay By Mail

    • Third-party Billing or 529 Plan: If you are using a 529 college savings plan or a third-party sponsor (such as an employer or scholarship organization), request that payment be mailed by the posted “mail by” date each term to ensure receipt and processing by Payment Due Date.
    • Check, Money Order, or Cashier’s Check: Mail payments by the posted “mail by” date each term to ensure receipt and processing by Payment Due Date.

    Make checks payable to “The University of Tennessee” and send to:
