How to Pay Your Fees Last Updated:  Mar 04, 2008, 8:54 AM PST

Budget Updates


Billing Methods:
  • ZOTBills showing your registration fee assessment and financial aid funding can be viewed through your ZOT Account Online. It is important to activate your UCInetID and password, review your messages in your UCI mailbox, and keep your mailbox from getting full. You will receive email notification that your monthly ZOT Bill information as well as current account balances are available for viewing on ZOT Account Online, if your mailbox is full these important messages can not be delivered. You may make an electronic payment via Zot Account Online or authorize another person (parents, for example) to do so. If you choose not to use this option, a payment stub will be available for you to print and mail in.
  • Fees required for a lab or studio course will be added to your ZOTBill.
  • Pay your fees early to avoid any confusion that may result from late payment.
  • Certain types of holds placed on the student's record will prevent a ZOTBill from being generated. If you have not been notified by Campus Billing Services that a current ZOTBill is available and believe you should have, access WebReg or StudentAccess for student record holds information. Also contact Campus Billing Services to check for outstanding debts and financial holds or visit ZOT Account Online.
  • If you are billed for registration fees and will not be attending UCI for that quarter you must notify the Registrar's Office by calling (949) 824-6124 and ask for a fee de-assessment.

Check the Quarterly Calendar for the dates of the registration period and fee payment deadline.

Payment Methods:
  • ZotPay (electronic payment)
    You can pay your bill electronically from your ZOT Account Online. You must first sign up for this service and you may allow an "other payer" (e.g., parent, spouse) to make payments to your account. (Note that the other payer will have access only to your account with the electronic bill payment services, and will not have access to your ZOT Account Online.) There is more information for other payers in these FAQs. Go to Financial Services and click on ZotPay.
  • In Person
    Submit your payment to the Central Cashier's Office, 228 Aldrich Hall, Monday-Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
  • Campus "Special Mail" drop boxes/Aldrich Hall drop slot
    • Make checks payable to Regents-UC and include your student identification number on the face of your check. (Checks must be drawn on US funds and have your bank branch number and personal account number imprinted on the check by the bank). No cash payments.
    • Place your check in an envelope and write "Central Cashier's Office, ZOTBill Payment Enclosed" on it. Be sure to include your name and student ID number in the return address area. Drop the envelope in one of the Campus Special Mail boxes, or the drop slot outside the Central Cashier's Office at Aldrich Hall. No postage is necessary.
    • Pick-up times are posted on the drop boxes and drop slot. Payments deposited after the last daily pick up will be delivered the following work day.
    • Payments deposited on the deadline day after the last pick up will be assessed the late service charge and may be returned by the Central Cashier.
  • US Postal Service
    Make checks payable to Regents-UC and include your student identification number on the face of your check. (Checks must be drawn on US funds and have your bank branch number and personal account number imprinted on the check by the bank). Send to:

    Central Cashier's Office
    228 Aldrich Hall
    Irvine, CA 92697-1975

    Allow at least 10 working days for delivery; postmark dates do not apply. To avoid late service charges, your registration fees must be received by the fee payment deadline. Classes are dropped if a student's registration fees are not paid by 4:30 p.m. on the fee payment deadline. For more information on making payments, visit the Central Cashier's website.
  • Automatic Fee Payment for recipients of full Financial Aid
    Registration fees will be paid electronically after minimum required units are obtained through enrollment for:
    • financial aid recipients with sufficient aid for the full amount or
    • graduate students whose fees are fully funded through a graduate fellowship, remission program, or other form of financial support administered by the Graduate Division, or
    • graduate students with a combination of financial aid, graduate aid, and/or waivers that cover full fees.

    Your registration fees are paid automatically when you have enrolled in the minimum required units, which you will see when you enroll using WebReg. Typically, it is six (6) units for financial aid recipients (undergraduate or graduate) and one (1) unit for graduate aid recipients.

    To avoid late service charges, your registration must be paid by the fee payment deadline. Classes are dropped if a student's registration fees are not paid by 4:30 p.m. on the fee payment deadline.

  • Automatic Payment for Recipients of Partial Financial Aid Funding
    Undergraduate students with financial aid funding will be able to view the financial aid available for fee payment and an "Amount Due" through their ZotAccount On line. Fees will be paid electronically when the student is enrolled in the minimum required units and the minimum amount due by the student is paid by the deadline.
