Monthly Payment Plan FAQs

The plan will be available in mid- to late April. Continuing students and their families can begin signing up at that time. Incoming students and their families can begin signing up in early May after they have activated their netID and have access to IRISHPAY.

The student or anyone authorized on the student account can sign up for the plan if they are eligible. Please understand that there can be only one payment plan per student account.

Any active student enrolled for the fall or spring semester who has a minimum balance of $500 per semester is considered eligible to enroll.

The enrollment process within IRISHPAY will provide budget worksheets where each user can enter charges for tuition, fees, room and meals, and credits for financial aid, 529 plan payments, or other payments. All fields within the worksheets may be edited to ensure accuracy in calculating the correct amount of the plan.

No. Payments will be made on the 1st of each month and will be automatically debited from the U.S. checking or savings account you have chosen when signing up for the plan. Please understand that credit cards are not a payment option.

Although the payment plan options do not allow for payments from accounts outside of the United States, those wishing to make payments to the student account via wire transfer or international electronic transfer should do so using Convera GlobalPay for Students through IRISHPAY. Learn more about making payments via international wire transfer.

No. The monthly payment plan is based upon a 10-month period that runs from June to March. We encourage students and families to enroll in the plan prior to the May 25 deadline in order to make the first payment on June 1. Those who wait to sign up will be required to make up payments that have been missed.

If your monthly payment plan amount does not cover the balance due on the student account, or if your monthly payment plan is more than the balance due on the student account, a notice will display within IRISHPAY that the account is out of balance and the account owner will be able to increase or decrease the amount of the plan.

No. A student can only have one monthly payment plan in IRISHPAY per academic year.
