<p>Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I've looked all over the UIUC website and haven't seen the answer to my question anywhere. Do you pay it online after you've submitted your application? Or do you have to send it in the mail? I haven't finished my app yet, and I want to make sure I don't have to send it in the mail since the priority deadline is a week away, and I'm cutting it kind of close. Lol. Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>You can pay it online, or submit it via check, but mailed materials must be postmarked by Nov 1st.</p>
<p>Ok then. Will the option to pay it online come up once I’ve submitted my application? Or is there a way to do it right now even though I’m not finished yet?</p>
<p>I am not one who actually fills out apps, but my recall from the past is that historically a page comes up at the end for payment and demands that you submit your first born [the application fee].</p>
