University of Hawaiʻi Installment Payment Plan

After registering for classes, you must pay in full by the payment due date or have secured financial aid award/scholarships or sign up for an installment payment plan. The Installment Payment Plan allows you to divide your tuition balance into manageable multiple installments. It is your responsibility to verify payment is received by each payment due date. Students with current term installment plans will not be dis-enrolled from course enrollment.

Financial Aid award or scholarship recipients should contact the Financial Aid office on their campus for additional information. Students are not required to sign-up for the installment plan. If you have financial aid and/or scholarships that will cover the total cost of tuition and fees, you do not need to sign-up for the installment plan.

Enrollment Eligibility

• You do not owe a balance greater than $200 from a prior term and/or have not been referred to a collection agency.

• You have a balance due greater than $300 and are registered for the current Fall or Spring term.

Sign-Up/Payment Dates

You are able to sign-up one month prior to the first installment payment due date and may choose to start the plan in August (Fall) and December (Spring). You are required to pay a non-refundable installment plan fee of $30 at the time of sign up.

The installment plan will be equal monthly payments depending upon when you sign up; there are 4, 3, and 2 month installment plans. Payment due dates will be the 15th of each month and will be taken out automatically from the same account used to sign up. You are able to update/edit your account information at any time. Please note that if account information changes, it may take up to 24 hours, so plan accordingly if payment date is near.

• Upon enrollment in an installment payment plan, the enrollee will provide information for the financial account from which they will pay a $30 enrollment fee and installment payments. Installments will be automatically deducted from the enrollee’s designated account on the scheduled installment due dates.

• If new transactions are posted to the student’s account after enrollment, the remaining installment payment amounts will adjust accordingly. All financial aid and scholarships received by the University will be applied to a student’s account and remaining installment payment amounts will adjust accordingly.

• Do not Make a Manual Payment on the scheduled payment date to avoid double payments.

• Scheduled eCheck or eSavings payments to the University of Hawaiʻi will be attempted twice before being returned from the maker's bank. A payment returned for any reason (e.g. insufficient funds, closed bank account, incorrect bank information) will result in a $25.00 returned payment charge, which could also result in multiple payer’s bank fees.

• Do Not issue a Stop Payment. A stop payment is a returned payment, it is not acknowledged as an official drop from courses or withdrawal from the University.

Failure to make payment

If you fail to make a payment (e.g. insufficient funds, closed credit card, closed bank account), you may be dis-enrolled from the payment plan and your account will become delinquent. Consequences include:

1. A financial hold placed on your account,
2. Dis-enrolled from future term,
3. Unable to receive transcripts,
4. Notification that full payment must be received within 15 days or sanctions will be imposed

If full payment is not received, the student’s account may be referred to a collection agency and other sanctions as defined in University of Hawaii Administrative Rules, Chapter 20-10 (PDF) will be imposed.
