DEFERRED PAYMENT PLAN:

Undergraduate fees will be assessed to your student account in MyBill. You will be responsible for paying the fees by the fee payment deadline. To access your student account, select MyBill after logging in to the my.ucmerced.edu student portal. HOW TO PAY? Log in to the my.ucmerced.edu student portal and select MyBill to view the amount you owe. Balances not paid by the payment deadline are subject to a $50 late fee and a hold on your student account.

The Deferred Payment Plan (DPP) offers the option to pay registration fees and on-campus housing costs (if applicable) in four monthly installments per semester. To qualify for the DPP, you must owe more than $500 after any authorized financial aid. You must request to enroll in the DPP every semester. The first installment plus the nonrefundable $40 participation fee must be paid at the time you enroll. To enroll, log in to the my.ucmerced.edu student portal, select MyBill, then select Deferred Payment Plan. ELECTRONIC REFUNDS (EFT): You should sign up for Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) if you are expecting a refund. With EFT, you have the convenience of your refund going directly to your bank account. Those funds will be accessible in 1 to 3 business days. Students who have not enrolled in EFT must pick up a paper check at Campus Cashiering Services. You can sign up for EFT using the Electronic Student Refund link in the my.ucmerced.edu student portal.

PROOF OF IMMUNIZATION health.ucmerced.edu/immunizations

These requirements will appear on your checklist on the my.ucmerced.edu student portal. After you submit the documents, monitor your UC Merced email for status updates or additional information.

To comply with the University of California immunization requirement, all incoming students are required to complete a TB Risk Screening Questionnaire and Immunizations Form to prove vaccination and/or immunity to measles/mumps/ rubella (MMR), varicella (chickenpox), meningitis (under age 22 only) and tetanus/diphtheria/pertussis (Tdap). You can find these items in the MyHealth portal at myhealth.ucmerced.edu . We strongly recommend that you meet TB and immunization requirements before you arrive on campus. Failure to submit proof of immunizations and TB compliance will result in a registration hold for the following semester .

STUDENT HEALTH INSURANCE WAIVER health.ucmerced.edu/waiver

All registered UC Merced students are automatically enrolled in the UC Student Health Insurance Plan (UC SHIP) in order to meet the University of California mandate that all UC students have health insurance coverage as a nonacademic condition of enrollment. However, if you have coverage through a major medical insurance plan that meets the University’s minimum criteria for health care and do not wish to be enrolled in UC SHIP, you can waive enrollment by submitting an online waiver application. Waiver applications can be submitted on the my.ucmerced.edu student portal during the fall or spring waiver periods. A new waiver application must be completed each academic year in the fall. Complete the Waiver Criteria Worksheet at health.ucmerced.edu/ waiver to help you gather the information you will need prior to completing the application.
