Paying fees after the deadline?

Is it possible to pay fees after the deadline has been met? While trying to submit my UC application today I was hit with two error messages when trying to pay and now have to wait 72 hours to try to pay again, despite today being the deadline. The application was submitted and I got confirmation number but if I don’t pay by today will my application be disregarded/penalized?

Somebody in a separate thread had the same question. I don’t have the answer but if you have a twitter account? You could ask them directly. (Or call). The UC Application account is @ UC_Apply

I just went to twitter to see if others were having this problem. They are. Somebody tweeted at UC asking this same question.

This is what UC tweeted just now: “Applicants who are experiencing difficulty in submitting credit card payments are instructed to select “Check (by mail)” as their method of payment & complete submission of their app. Applicants can return to the application in a couple of days to submit the credit card payment.”
