Payment plans

UNB offers payment plans and extensions, which are approved on a term-by-term basis.

Balances from previous terms cannot be carried forward into a new payment plan. Please make sure any outstanding balances from previous terms are paid in full before requesting a new payment plan or extension.

Payment plans and extensions must be requested directly by the student.

All payment plans must be approved by the fee payment deadline date to avoid the $75 late payment fee.

Alternate Payment Plan

If you are seeking alternate payment options, please send an email to the address below based on your academic status.

Include your full name, UNB ID number and a detailed explanation of your situation and your proposed payment plan.

Alternate payment plans are considered on a case by case basis and approval may be subject to conditions. Please allow 2-3 business days for response.

Payment Plans and Extensions

If your student loan or RESP funding will not arrive by the tuition and fee deadline date, you can request a payment extension for the current term.

An approved payment extension will extend your payment deadline date to the end of the first month of the term as follows:

  • Winter Term - January 30
  • Summer Term - May 30

What students need to know before requesting an extension:

  • You are not eligible for a payment extension if you have an outstanding balance from a previous term.
  • If you need an extension that is beyond the deadline date above, a down payment or a Student Loan Notice of Assessment is required.
  • Payment extensions can only be requested and approved one term at a time.
  • 1% interest is charged per month.
  • Your payment extension is not active until you receive a confirmation email from Financial Services.
