Billing

Students can access ePay by logging in to myCharger and clicking the ePay icon at the top of the page.

PLEASE NOTE: Only students can access the portal. Once a parent/guardian is set up as an authorized user, they will receive their own personal login credentials.

If your payment is not received by the designated due date, you may be assessed a late fee as well as have a financial hold placed on your record. This hold will restrict you from scheduling/registering for future classes, viewing grades, requesting transcripts, and receiving your diploma.

All billing for tuition, fees, housing, and food is processed electronically through ePay, the University’s online billing and payment system. ePay is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week for your convenience. Each time a new bill is available, students are notified through their University email account. Parents and families will only be emailed if they are set up as an authorized user.

With ePay you can:

  • Access your current and previous tuition statements
  • View current account activity
  • Make payments in a secure environment
  • Authorize other payers (parent, guardian, etc.) to access your tuition account
  • Sign up for text message notifications
  • Enroll in direct deposit for student refunds
In order for others (parents, family members, etc.) to discuss a student’s tuition account with the One Stop Office staff, they must be set up as an authorized user. Each authorized user will receive their own personal login credentials for access to ePay. Authorized users will also be sent an email notification each time a new statement is available.

All checks should be made payable to the University of New Haven, include the student’s name and ID number, and can be mailed to:

University of New Haven

The general fee provides a partial contribution supporting essential infrastructure, facilities and institutional services necessary to promote student learning. This fee covers access to health and counseling services and it supports student government and club activities. In addition, this fee supports technology infrastructure initiatives including, but not limited to, networks, electronic information resources, computer laboratories and smart technology classrooms. This fee also covers facility enhancements and student services such as access to the Beckerman Recreation Center. The general fee is charged for each semester in which a student enrolls.
Tuition differentials are additional fees associated with particular courses. These courses (usually engineering, chemistry, and computer science courses) require additional resources to operate. Tuition differential fees are noted on the Academic Calendar.

Financial Aid

If you applied for financial aid and it is not included on your bill, be sure you Accepted or Declined all offered financial aid awards online and that you submitted all required financial aid documents. Students can view their financial aid awards and their individual required documents through the My Financial Aid system via the myCharger portal. Once logged in, click on the My Financial Aid icon at the top of the page.

Subsidized loans do not accrue interest while the student is enrolled at least half-time. With an unsubsidized loan, interest begins to accrue once the loan is processed and disbursed to the school.

Federal Direct Student Loan: The student is the borrower of this loan and the amount for which a student is eligible will appear on the student's financial aid award.

Federal Direct Parent Loan (PLUS): The parent is the borrower of this federal credit-based loan

Private Student Loan: This private, credit-based loan is borrowed by the student and a creditworthy cosigner. This loan is offered through many lenders, such as banks, credit unions, state agencies, and other financial institutions.

The government deducts a fee from each disbursement of the Federal Direct Student Loan as well as the Federal Direct Parent Loan (PLUS), so the school will receive an amount that is a little less than the amount of the loan that is awarded.
Parents sign into www.StudentLoans.gov using the FSA ID (username and password) the parent used to sign the FAFSA. Select the option "Apply for a PLUS" then complete and submit the application. If approved, parents will need to "Complete Loan Agreement for a PLUS Loan (MPN)."

If a parent is not approved for the Federal Direct Parent Loan (PLUS), the parent may:

  • Appeal the decision with the U.S. Department of Education.
  • Obtain a creditworthy endorser.
  • Choose to "Not Pursue the PLUS Loan." With this option, the student is eligible to borrow an additional $4,000 for the year (as a freshman or sophomore) and $5,000 for the year (as a junior or senior) in the Unsubsidized Federal Direct Student Loan program.
  • Have the other parent apply for the Federal Direct Parent Loan (PLUS) in their name.
Make sure you send to the One Stop Office, a copy of the notification you receive indicating you have been selected as the scholarship recipient.

Student Health Insurance

All full time undergraduate students and all international students are automatically charged for the University sponsored health insurance. Domestic students will have an opportunity to waive this coverage, if already covered by another health insurance plan. The University health insurance plan is mandatory for all international students.
The waiver can only be completed online at studentcenter.uhcsr.com/newhaven.
Once the waiver deadline has passed, you will not be able to waive coverage until the next academic year. Failure to complete the online waiver request form by the specified date will obligate the student to pay for the coverage indicated on his/her student account.
