Bear Pay
A Convenient Way to Pay.
UNC’s monthly payment plan 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.
Why should you enroll?
- Allows you to pay your bill over time
- Relieves the stress of having to pay your entire bill at once
- Automatically adjusts your payments after financial aid is applied to your account or when classes are added or dropped
- Directly withdraws payments each month from your checking account or credit card
