<p>So I made my mom an account and anything and I'm at the page where it lists your bill. Mine says for the amount due:
CARS Bill: $5,226.15
Deferred Payment: $1,733.55</p>
<p>& the 50 cent convenience fee. I read up on the deferred payment stuff but I'm still confused, am I supposed to pay both of these? Or do I just pick one and pay it? It says the deferred payment is in 20% installments but if you times it by 5 it's more than the CARS Bill so I'm unsure what exactly I'm supposed to be paying here.</p>
<p>Did you find an answer to this because I have the exact same problem. I ended up choosing the deferred payment option, i hope this was right.</p>
<p>I chose the first one, no one ever answered :\ I think they're both right and you only need to pick one!</p>
<p>You only choose one.
The deferred payment option charges you an extra $40 at a later date, but you pay less now.</p>
<p>does the balance include the tuition for next semester?</p>
<p>No. Fees are assessed per semester, with the potential exception of housing which is charged more frequently. </p>
<p>You will never have a single charge during any semester which covers the entire year.</p>
<p>By the way, paying the Deferred option is paying a PORTION of the former option. If you choose the latter, you will be charged a $40 fee at some later date, and then requested periodically (I forget if it's monthly or quarterly or what) to pay the next installment, up until you've paid the full amount (generally equal to your CARS Bill + the $40 fee).</p>
