The Office of Scholarships and Student Aid establishes student budgets to help students in planning for expenses. For additional information on these budgets, please contact:

CB# 2300, 310 Pettigrew Hall
The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Chapel Hill, NC 27599-2300

Tuition and fees are assessed on a semester basis. Payments may be made in advance, in person or by mail. MasterCard and VISA are acceptable. To avoid the inconvenience of standing in line, you may mail your payment to:

University Cashier
The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
CB# 1400, 103 Bynum Hall
Chapel Hill, NC 27599-1400

Checks should be made payable to "The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill." The student's ID number should be on the face of the check. Accounts not paid in full by the due date are subject to cancellation of registration.

Each student is responsible for payment of his or her University bills. If someone other than the student is responsible for payment of the bill, the University Cashier should be notified in ample time so that the bill may be sent to the proper person or agency. Students who are expecting to receive financial aid, scholarship funds, fellowship funds, or payment for service appointments should bring sufficient funds with them (cash or travelers checks) to take care of living expenses for approximately fifteen days. This should provide sufficient time for appropriate funds to be made available.

Tuition Refunds

Students who officially withdraw from the University within nine weeks of registration may receive a partial refund of the tuition and fees paid that semester. The refund is prorated over a period of nine weeks at a rate of one-tenth of the semester's bill after deduction of an administrative charge.
