Payment Plans

The University of Arkansas - Fort Smith offers payment plans to help you better manage your finances and reduce stress. Payment plans are available for those who are unable to make full payment of current charges after financial aid has been applied for the current semester. Payment plans are only available for the fall and spring semesters.

Setting up a payment plan is easy. Simply pay 25% of the balance owed and review the payment schedule for the semester. There is a $25 non-refundable set-up fee associated with each plan.

Payment plans will automatically recalculate as your account is adjusted. Adjustments may include additional payments by the student, changes in financial aid, charges for additional credit hours, or housing expenses. You and your authorized users will be notified of any adjustment to your monthly payment plan amount.

Enrollment for fall 2024 payment plans open on July 2, 2024. The deadline to enroll in a payment plan for fall 2024 is August 13, 2024. The plan is designed to cover your current semester of study (fall or spring only). The net balance due will be used to calculate payment plan payments when the plan is first set up.

While the plan will have set installment dates, students can make payments before the listed deadlines to help spread the payments out. All payment plans must be set up through the Student Online Business Center using a credit card, debit card, or electronic check.
