IMPORTANT MESSAGES:
By registering for courses I understand that I am responsible for tuition and other fees associated with these courses. I must follow procedures for formal add/drop and withdrawal of the University and non-attendance does not relieve me of my charges. I understand that if my account becomes delinquent, I will be liable for service charges, collections costs and legal fees. Please review the Statement of Financial Responsibility for additional information at http://ei65.7672049.com/bursar/your-account/.
Your payment is due in full. If full amount is not paid, a 1.5% service charge will be assessed on unpaid billing charges.
UNC has a monthly pay plan which allows you to pay your bill in easy monthly installments rather than in one lump sum. This plan includes your tuition, room and board, and all university fees. More information on this plan can be found at the following websites:

A student fee of $1 per credit hour up to 10 credit hours each semester (up to $20 per a traditional academic year) sustains the fund. The savings generated from the projects are being reinvested in ways that are directly visible to the student body.
