About Financing

What resources are there for parents to help finance their child’s education?

PLUS loans are available to parents of undergraduate students when the student is “dependent” upon the parent for financial support. PLUS loans can be used in addition to other sources of aid, offer low monthly payments and long repayment periods, and are offered at a maximum of the difference between cost of attendance and other aid for which the student is eligible.

Is there any kind of payment plan available?

Yes, we offer a monthly payment plan for both the fall and spring semesters. The plan is offered through Tuition Management Systems (TMS). Please contact TMS at 1-800-722-4867. For more information about the payment plan, visit the Cashier's Office Web site at http://cashiers.unc.edu.
