Acceptable Payment Methods
Master Card or VISA UTLINK, or Bursar's Office (UCT 2240) at 713-500-3088.
Check Mail to the Bursar's Office:
UCT 2240, UT Houston HSC, PO Box 20036, Houston, TX 77225
NOTE: Check must reach the Bursar's Office before deadline.
Cash Processed only on-site at the Bursar's Office, UCT 2240.  Do NOT mail cash.

Students may pay tuition and fees in full or in installments for the fall semester, spring, and summer - 12 week semesters. Students who wish to use the installment option may select the installment payment plan using UTLINK or may make the selection at the Bursar's Office, UCT 2240. A $15 fee will be assessed for use of the installment plan. A $15 fee will be assessed if the initial payment is late; a $10 charge will be assessed for each subsequent delinquent installment payment. Certain fees (health insurance, liability insurance, installment use fee, etc.) must be paid in full at the initial payment. The scheduled payment dates for students selecting the installment plan are listed below.

Dropping classes or withdrawing from the University does not relieve a student of the responsibility for unpaid financial obligations to the University. Students enrolled in an installment payment plan will be required to continue making payments until the non-refundable portion of their account is paid in full. Refunds or credits are based on the percentage of tuition and fees charged, not on the percentage of tuition and fees paid. A student, who fails to make full payment of tuition and fees, including any incidental fees, by the due date, may be prohibited from registering for classes until full payment is made. A student who fails to make payment prior to the end of the semester may be denied credit for the work done that semester.

The installment option for the summer semester is only available to students who are registered for the summer 12 week term.


Please note: BILLS WILL NOT BE MAILED. You can view your bill, pay your tuition, and pay your fees using UTLINK. Mastercard, Visa, and checks are accepted. Contact 713-500-3088 for more information.
