Paying the Bill
Paying your student’s bill is an important step in securing their place at UTA and ensuring a smooth start to the semester. As a parent or supporter, you can help your Maverick review their charges, understand payment deadlines, and choose the option that works best for your family.
Your student will be able to view their bill online, see tuition and fee details, and confirm any financial aid or scholarships that have been applied. From there, you can work together to set up a payment plan if needed, make a one-time payment, or explore other approved payment methods.
Staying on top of billing dates and checking the account regularly helps prevent holds, late fees, and registration issues, so your student can stay focused on preparing for classes and campus life.
