How does the payment work?

<p>What's the payment plan like for Berkeley? How often do you pay? Every semester? Up to how many payments? As an incoming freshman, when is the first time you have to pay? And what exactly is the payment method? My parents are nagging me so much to find out. Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>I believe they send you a monthly bill/statement. </p>

<p>Berkeley’s billing service is called CARS. All the info you need should be here:

<p>Your parents can sign up for their own account to make the payments and check the balance.</p>

<p>Is this for tuition too? So all payments are made through this? And when is the very first bill due then? In August? And so basically, does it divide the year’s payment into 10 monthly payments?</p>
