Paying Tuition and Fees
In order to make sure you have the best possible access to the classes you need to complete your degree on a timely schedule, UAB is changing when student account payments are due. Students receiving need based financial aid, external funding (e.g. PACT, VA benefits, etc.), or scholarships will not be negatively impacted by these changes.
Effective with the fall 2011 semester, these payment timelines will be in place at UAB:
A student’s balance due will be 50 percent of charges plus any outstanding balance less financial aid, educational assistance, or third-party payments.
Students who do not make the initial payment of 50 percent of their account balance 10 days before the first class day of the fall term will be dropped from their courses for non-payment.
The payment schedule changes will impact graduate and undergraduate students. It will not impact students in first professional programs in the schools of Medicine, Optometry and Dentistry.

Further details about scholarships and their criteria are available here. You may also apply for extramural support by contacting national, international and private foundations directly.
**The University Financial Aid Office is responsible for administering financial support loans based on need and non-need options.
