Payment & Pricing

Newman Hall Room & Board payments are paid in 4 equal installments due on:

• June 1
• September 1
• November 1
• February 1

Room & Board payments are managed through our BillandPay.com system. The BillandPay.com system allows you to view past and present invoices, receive payment reminders, make payments, or set up recurring quarterly payments (autopay)*.

Once you receive your invoice via email from the BillandPay.com system, you can:

• set up a one-time or automatic recurring quarterly ACH payment with no added fees
• pay your invoice by credit card with a 3% added service fee
• pay your invoice via check
• pay your invoice via direct 529 plan disbursement
  • NOTE: 529 plan disbursements must be sent to "Newman Foundation at the University of Illinois" at 604 E. Armory Ave., Champaign, IL 61820
• pay your invoice via wire transfer

For those residents who require alternate payment arrangements, a 10-month installment plan is also available. 

Residents may request a 10-month payment plan to pay room & board fees in 10 equal installments due monthly from June through April.

Newman Hall works with students on financial aid by allowing a deferment of portions of room & board until financial aid is disbursed each semester.

1. To request a Financial Aid Deferral, submit your Financial Aid Award letter on the portal by logging in at https://starrezportalx.newmanhall.com/StarRezPortalX/.
2. Agree to the Financial Aid Deferral terms outlined on screen.
3. Upload and submit your Financial Aid Award letter.
   1. If you are a continuing student, you may upload last year's letter, or a screenshot of your completed FAFSA, instead of the Award letter as part of your initial application for Financial Aid Deferral. We are aware that Financial Aid Award letters are not provided to continuing upperclassmen until June.
4. We will review your documents for approval.
5. Upon approval, you will receive an updated room & board invoice reflecting:
   1. $500 Fall semester down payment due immediately upon invoice
   2. Balance of room & board Semester 1 payment (equal to Installment 1 + Installment 2 - $500 down payment) will be invoiced and due after Fall semester Financial Aid funds are dispersed (typically mid-September)
6. In November, you will receive a second invoice reflecting:
   1. $500 Spring semester down payment due upon invoice
   2. Balance of room & board Semester 2 payment (equal to Installment 3 + Installment 4 - $500 down payment) will be invoiced and due after Spring semester Financial Aid Funds are dispersed (typically mid-February)

NOTE: Financial Aid that you receive is not disbursed from the University of Illinois to Newman Hall. Any Financial Aid over your tuition & fee bill, including any portion intended for housing, will be issued back from the University in the form of a direct refund to the student. Students wishing to use these funds to pay for Newman Hall room & board must then pay Newman Hall directly, after receipt of any Financial Aid refund.
