Yale Charge Account
If you enroll in the Yale Charge Account Plan, you will be able to charge designated optional items and services to your student account, including toll calls made through the University's telephone system. Go to http://www.yale.edu/sis/. Select the Login option. After logging in, select the Billing and Student Accounts Menu and select Charge Account Authorization. The University may withdraw this privilege from students who do not pay their monthly bills on a timely basis. For information, contact the Student Financial Services Center at sfs@yale.edu, (203) 432-2700 or fax at (203) 432-7557.
Yale Payment Plan
The Yale Payment Plan (YPP) that is administered by the University's Office of Student Financial Services provides parents and students with the option to pay education expenses on a monthly basis. The Plan is designed to relieve the pressure of "lump-sum" payments by allowing families to spread payments over a period of months without incurring any interest charges. Participation in the YPP is elected on an annual basis and may be used to supplement the various forms of financial aid, such as grants, loans and scholarships.
If you enroll in the annual plan, one-half of the total amount of your contract will be applied toward each of the academic terms (Fall and Spring). If you enroll in either the Fall- or Spring-only plan, the total amount of your contract will be credited toward the corresponding term. Families who elect to participate pay an enrollment fee of $100 per plan. If your YPP account becomes delinquent (not paid by the payment plan due date), the unpaid contract balance may be charged to your regular Yale student account and be subject to applicable late payment fees.
The YPP has been effective for those wishing to pay monthly. Go to http://www.yale.edu/sfas/financial/accounts.html to the Yale Payment Plan section to download an enrollment form for the 2007-2008 academic year. If you have any questions about the YPP or would like assistance, please call us at (203) 432-2700 and select "Press 3" from the Main Menu.
Bills
Yale University's official means of communicating monthly financial account statements is electronically through the University's Internet-based system for electronic billing and payment, Yale University eBill - ePay.
Student account statements are prepared and made available twelve times a year at the beginning of each month. Payment is due in full by 4 p.m. on the first business day of the following month. E-mail notifications that the account statement is available on the University eBill-ePay Web site (www.yale.edu/sis/ebep) are sent to all students who have activated their official Yale e-mail accounts and to all student-designated authorized payers. It is imperative that all students activate and monitor their Yale e-mail accounts on an ongoing basis.
Bills for tuition, room, and board are available to the student during the first week of July, due and payable by August 1 for the fall term; and during the first week of November, due and payable by December 1 for the spring term. The Office of Student Financial Services will impose a late charge if any part of the term bill, less Yale-administered loans and scholarships that have been applied for on a timely basis, is not paid when due. The late charge will be imposed as follows:

Nonpayment of bills and failure to complete and submit financial aid application packages on a timely basis may result in the student’s involuntary withdrawal from the University.
No degrees will be conferred and no transcripts will be furnished until all bills due the University are paid in full. In addition, transcripts will not be furnished to any student or former student who is in default on the payment of a student loan.
Charge for Returned Payments
A processing charge of $25 will be assessed for payments returned for any reason by the bank on which they were drawn. In addition, the following penalties may apply if a payment is returned:
- If the check was in payment of a term bill, a $110 late fee will be charged for the period the bill was unpaid.
- If the check was in payment of a term bill to permit registration, the student’s registration may be revoked.
- If the check was given in payment of an unpaid balance in order to receive a diploma, the University may refer the account to an attorney for collection.
