How to Pay Your UVA Bill Online

The University of Virginia (UVA) offers several convenient online options for students and patients to view and pay their bills. Online billing and payment services allow UVA community members to manage their accounts 24/7 from anywhere in the world. This article outlines the online billing systems for UVA students and UVA Health patients and provides step-by-step instructions for paying UVA bills electronically.

UVA Student Account Billing & Payment

UVA uses the Student Information System (SIS) to manage tuition fees housing, dining, and other charges for students. The SIS provides an online student account portal for viewing bills and paying online.

UVA accepts Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover credit and debit cards. A 2.4% service fee applies to credit/debit card payments. There are no fees for electronic check (ACH) payments from a checking or savings account.

Students can also set up authorized users, like parents, to view and pay bills on their behalf. Parents must register for Parent Proxy access through SIS.

In addition to online payments, UVA student account bills can be paid by mail, wire transfer, or in person at the Bursar’s office in University Hall.

UVA Health Patient Account Billing & Payment

UVA Health uses separate billing systems for medical bills from UVA Medical Center, specialty clinics, and physicians practices. Patients can conveniently pay all UVA Health bills through the online patient portal, MyChart.

Payment Plan Options

If you are unable to pay your UVA student or medical bill in full, you may be eligible for a payment plan to break the balance into affordable recurring payments.

UVA Student Payment Plans

UVA offers several payment plan options for students and families:

• Semester Payment Plan – Breaks each semester’s bill into 5 monthly installments per term. $45 enrollment fee per semester.

• Fixed Payment Plan – Make 10 monthly payments from June to March. $65 enrollment fee.

• Loan Payment Plan – Borrow funds directly through UVA. Offers low fixed interest rates and extended terms. No credit check required.

• Summer Payment Plan – Pay summer tuition in 5 installments. $25 enrollment fee.

Payment plans must be set up each academic year. Enroll online through SIS or contact the Bursar’s office for assistance.

UVA Health Payment Plans

Patients may be eligible for interest-free payment plans and extended payment options through UVA Health. The minimum monthly payment is $25. You can apply by:

• Calling UVA Patient Financial Services at 434-924-5377

• Visiting the clinic/hospital registration desk

• Speaking with a Patient Advocate

For qualified low-income patients, additional financial assistance and Medicaid coverage may be available. Discuss your options with a financial counselor.

Getting Account Notices and Statements

Students receive tuition bills and account statements electronically via email. Make sure your contact information is up to date in SIS.

Patients can choose to receive UVA Health statements by email or mail. Confirm your preferences through MyChart or contact Patient Financial Services.

Be sure to open and review any billing notices or statements promptly to avoid missed deadlines or lapses in coverage. Reach out right away if your statement appears incorrect or if you are unable to make a payment.

Avoid Late Fees and Penalties

UVA assesses late payment fees if bills are not paid on time. For student accounts, a late fee of 10% of the outstanding balance (maximum $100) is charged monthly. Late fees for medical bills vary but typically range from $10 – $25 per month.

Fall and spring tuition installments are due on the first of each month from August through December and January through May. Summer term payments are due on the first of June, July, and August.

Medical bills are due upon receipt of the initial statement. Prompt payment ensures you avoid penalties and additional interest charges.

Setting up recurring payments or enrolling in an automated payment plan are convenient ways to avoid missed payments. Just take care to monitor your account regularly for any billing changes.
