Invoices
The first invoice of the semester is sent electronically and mailed via U.S. Postal Service to the billing adress on file at the time the invoices are issued. The permanent address is used if there is no billing address on file. Thereafter, monthly invoices are sent out electronically only to students with new charges or outstanding balances. Payment is always due by the 15th of the following month.
Tuition and fee charges are based on the number of credits for which a student has registered. Other charges are based on information provided by other University Offices prior to the invoice date. Administrative/Late payment fees of up to $50 are assessed for any balance remaining unpaid by each invoice payment due date.

B
udget Program - UAPP
To help our students and families meet the cost of a University at Albany education, the University offers the University at Albany Payment Plan (UAPP), a four-installment payment plan that allows enrollees to pay their semester charges in four monthly payments (January 15, February 15, March 15, and April 15 for the Spring semester).
You may also pay by return mail using the pre-addressed return envelope provided with your invoice. Payments mailed to us in our pre-addressed return envelopes are automatically sent to the University's bank where they are processed overnight and credited to students' accounts the following business day. On the other hand, payments put into the hallway drop box outside the Office of Student Accounts must be manually delivered to the University's bank, and there is a two-business-day delay before they are credited to students' accounts. Please use the mail to pay your bills!
Cash Payments
If you must pay your bill in person, e.g., with cash, visit the Bursar counter between the hours of 8:30am - 4:30pm, Monday through Friday. We suggest you avoid the middle of the day when lines are longest. Wait for a receipt. Do not put cash in the drop box!
Returned Checks
The charge for returned or bounced checks is $20. Returned items must be redeemed with cash, a certified check, a postal money order, or a credit card. A student's registration may be cancelled if a returned check is not repaid timely. After two returned checks, personal checks are no longer accepted from the student.
