The bill is is a moving target. Fees and tuition will be added as you get closer to the first day of class including things like your meal plan. If you are covered under your parent’s medical insurance plan, you may apply for a waiver and that fee and it will be removed. First make sure, your parent’s insurance covers you at UNC. Make sure you understand that UNC hospital does not accept certain insurance plans such as Aetna, etc. You can still get simple walk in care at the student clinic, which is covered under the student health fee. You can’t waive out of that one but it is a lot lower and pretty convenient if you come down with something simple and need antibiotics.

If you parents are using a payment plan, such as Tuition Management System, the amount due will not reflect the plan. The amount paid is credited on a monthly basis around the 15th of the month and through October for the fall semester. Payments made in November and December will count towards the Spring semester. I usually make my calculation and pay UNC net of the payment plan. I also make sure that they are aware I have the payment plan. I don’t know if UNC has their own payment plan. It has never been an option for us.

Hope this helps. It is very confusing the first year and it is difficult to talk to someone in the cashier office. I found that they do answer emails.
