Account Payment Policy
Tuition and comprehensive fees (a.k.a. maintenance and mandatory fees) as well as room, board, and all other University fees are due by the published due date each semester. Students are also notified of the due date by billing notice, which is sent to the students’ UTS email. The student is responsible for completing any and all requirements for financial assistance. The student is responsible for any changes to the account as a result of adding/dropping classes. Prior term balances must be paid before the student may register for or attend a following term.
An account can be satisfied by either (1) payment in full or (2) enrollment in an official payment plan with first installment completed. Accounts not satisfied by the published due date each semester will have their schedule cancelled. Accounts with unpaid tuition, fees, fines, or room and board charges on the last day of the payment period (last business day in October for Fall term or last business day in March for Spring term) may be assessed a $150.00 delinquent account fee. This includes accounts on a payment plan.
Non-Payment Cancellation Policy
Accounts must be satisfied by the published due date each semester or the schedule will be cancelled. Failure to complete payment for a prior term will result future term courses being dropped.
Students with cancelled schedules may re-register after schedules are cancelled, but previous course selection is not guaranteed. Students who owe a balance for a previous semester CAN NOT re-register until their previous balance owed is paid in full.
Any student who registers for classes after the non-payment cancellation date must pay their balance before the first day of the semester to avoid any additional fees. If the account is not satisfied by the last day of the free drop/add period the student will automatically be charged the payment plan fee ($45.00) and will be subject to all payment plan terms.

Mail In Payments
If mailing in a personal check or money order please make the check payable to UT Southern and include the student’s full name or student ID number in the memo line. Please mail the check so it arrives before the payment deadline for the term.
Mailing Address for Checks:
UT Southern
Attn: Bursar Office
433 W Madison Street
Pulaski, TN 38478
529 Payments
Funds from a 529 college savings plan are requested by the account holder. Please make sure the payment is requested in time to arrive before the payment deadline for the term. If the funds are being sent by mail, please use the mailing address above.
Out of State Tuition Plans/PACT Programs/Employer Tuition Programs
If you or your student participates in a tuition program that requires UTS to send an invoice to the organization, please let us know as soon as possible to allow time for processing. Processing time differs across the board, but it can take between 2-4 weeks for payment to be sent to UTS. In some cases, we may ask that the student pay their balance up front, and then the student can be reimbursed after UTS receives payment from the organization.
Scholarship Checks & Third-Party Payments
Scholarship checks may be mailed or brought to the office. The scholarship check should be made payable to UT Southern and mailed to the address above. The student’s information should be included either on the check or on any attached documentation with the check. If the scholarship check is made payable to the student’s name, the student must endorse the back of the check when it is presented to the Bursar’s office.
How Scholarships are Applied
The UTS Bursar’s office must follow any instructions sent with the scholarship check and apply the funds in the manor described in the letter. If no instructions are sent with the check, UTS policy is to apply one-half the amount to the current semester and the remaining one-half to the following semester.
For example, a $1000 scholarship check received in the Fall term would have $500 applied to the Fall semester and $500 applied to the following Spring semester if no instructions were provided.
Student Refunds
When a student’s total financial aid exceeds total charges, the excess will be disbursed to the student. The excess is aid is determined by money received, not money expected. No refunds will be issued prior to Census Day. Students’ refund checks will be mailed to the local address on file. Refund requests may be submitted via the CAMS Student Portal. Student account credits are cleared each semester.
