Deferred Payment Plan
The Deferred Payment Plan (DPP) is designed to give students an opportunity to pay fees and tuition over an extended period of time. There is no interest charge because DPP is not a loan.
Students who are in good financial and academic standing may apply for his assistance. Students may elect to use DPP whether or not they qualify for financial aid. Students who owe the University money or have a history of payment difficulty may be denied DPP.
DPP allows all fees and tuition, to the extent not covered by grants, scholarships, waivers or loans to be paid in three installments each quarter. DPP is available for the summer term independently. Federal Direct Stafford/Ford Loans (FDSL) and Federal Direct Plus Loans (FDPL) are excluded from the calculation of DPP.
Terms and Condition
When To Apply
Applications must be received on or before the deadline to pay fees and tuition for the quarter to avoid the loss of enrolled courses. The processing fee and the first DPP installment are also due at the fee and tuition deadline to avoid a $50 DPP late fee. DPP applications are accepted throughout the registration period each quarter, but all applicable late fees will apply if the application is received after the deadline to pay fees and tuition for the quarter.
| Please indicate the plan for which the application is being submitted and include the correct processing fee. This will not guarantee DPP (see "The UCR Deferred Payment Plan" and "Notification of Acceptance" sections). Applications are accepted for the current academic year only. |
Nonrefundable Processing Fee
A processing fee of $25 per quarter for California resident students and $40 per quarter for nonresident students for the three-month plan is charged to offset the administrative costs of the plan.
This processing fee is nonrefundable, even if students are denied the plan, later withdraw from the plan or do not attend UCR. If payment for the processing fee is not included with the DPP application, it will be charged to the student billing account and must be paid by the deadline for the first DPP installment, even if students are denied the plan, later withdraw from the plan, or do not attend UCR.
Notification of Acceptance
Depending on when the application is submitted, there is no guarantee that notification will be sent before the first payment deadline date.
It is the responsibility of the student to verify acceptance to the plan, payment amounts and deadline dates. The payment schedule may be calculated by using the "Determining Your Payments" at the end of this brochure.
How Much Will Be Deferred
Grants, scholarships, waivers, and loans (excluding FDPL and FDSL) for the coming quarter are subtracted from fees and tuition to obtain the net amount owed for the quarter. (See Direct Loan information below.) Upon receipt of the completed application form and processing fee, the Student Business Services will implement a payment plan on the net amount owed for fees and tuition.
An adjustment to financial aid eligibility or fees and tuition after the DPP installments have been calculated may result in revised installment amounts. It is important to contact Student Business Services for revised installment amounts if financial aid or fees and tuition are adjusted after initial enrollment in the plan.
Note: Student Business Services does not recommend applying for DPP if the amount of financial aid exceeds the costs of fees and tuition. The DPP processing fee is nonrefundable.

Making Payments
The first payment must be paid by 4:00 p.m. on the same day that fees and tuition are due for the quarter. Disregarding this deadline will result in a late DPP payment fee of $50 being assessed to your account. Postmarks are not considered. As the remaining installments for each quarter become due, statements of account will be available on-line on GROWL at www.growl.ucr.edu. It is the responsibility of the student to notify Student Business Services of any name or billing address changes.
If payment for the processing fee is not included with the DPP application, it must be included with the first DPP installment. If it is not included, the processing fee will be paid from the first payment potentially leaving the DPP installment not fully paid. The late fee for the first installment not fully paid is $50. No late fee exceptions will be made for those who do not include the processing fee with the DPP application.
Payment by Check To ensure proper crediting of the payment, make sure that the name of the student, Campus ID Number, and the letters "DPP" appear on the face of the check used for payment. Payments may be submitted in person or mailed to the Main Cashiers Office. The Main Cashiers normal business hours are Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m.- 4:00 p.m. The mailing address is:
UCR Main Cashiers Office
900 University Ave.
Student Services Bldg, Room 1111
Riverside, CA 92521
Make checks payable to:
Regents UC
Payment by Credit Card American Express, MasterCard, and Discover credit cards are accepted for payment to student accounts via the Web (Visa cards are not accepted). A nonrefundable convenience fee is assessed for using this payment method. The Cashiers Office is not able to take any credit card payments at its counter. Check your student account at GROWL to make a credit card payment.
Graduate Students/UCR Employees
UCR Employees and Graduate Research/Teaching Assistants have the option to have payments made through payroll deductions.
Note: If the monthly DPP payroll deduction does not cover the amount due, or if no DPP deduction was made, a DPP payment must be made to satisfy the monthly scheduled amount. Any payments made to the billing account, including amounts specified by payroll deduction, will always pay late fees first (if any) then will apply to oldest debts. If payments are late, all late fees will be applicable.
Late Payment and Cancellation
Late payments will be assessed a late DPP payment fee each month. Late payment may affect eligibility for future participation in the plan. The late fee for the first payment of each quarter is $50. The late fee thereafter is $12.50. Any payments made to the billing account, including amounts specified by payroll deduction, will always pay late fees first (if any) then will apply to oldest debts. Two late payments may cancel the plan in any quarter and cause ineligibility for future participation in DPP. Failure to pay the balance when requested may result in loss of classes for that quarter.
Lapse of Student Status/Dismissed Students
The Deferred Payment Plan (DPP) may not prevent you from being lapsed and/or dismissed from the university. Lapse of student status means loss of enrolled courses and loss of student privileges; such as receipt of financial aid awards and student services. Students in a lapsed or dismissed status who seek reinstatement must go to their college Student Academic Affairs office to apply for readmission.
The student remains responsible for the nonrefundable processing fee and any additional charges that may be incurred.
Applying and agreeing to the terms and conditions of the Deferred Payment Plan does not withdraw/cancel students from the university. The student must formally initiate withdrawal/cancellation from the university as instructed by the Office of the Registrar. The effective date for determining a refund of fees is the date the student files an official notice of withdrawal/cancellation with the university. Refunds are based on a schedule and refer to calendar days. Please refer to the Office of the Registrar's website for more information regarding the withdrawal/cancellation process. www.classes.ucr.edu/enrollment/withdrawal.htm
Paying in Advance
Any portion of a payment that is in excess of the amount of the DPP installment due will be applied to other current debts. The Main Cashiers Office must be notified when paying any DPP or other charges in advance.
Academic Enrollment Change
Students using DPP who withdraw during the term may be eligible for a refund in accordance with the campus refund policy if 100% credit for fees and tuition is granted. The DPP processing fee is nonrefundable. Students who are not granted 100% withdrawal credit may be responsible for all or part of remaining DPP payments. Students on DPP who choose not to attend will be responsible for fees and tuition regardless of enrollment unless a formal withdrawal is filed. Students on DPP who are academically dismissed and later reinstated must contact Student Business Services to reactivate DPP.
