UC Merced offers students the option to pay student fees and on-campus housing, if applicable, in four monthly installments per semester.
Enrollment in the DPP opens August 1 for the fall term and December 15 for the spring term.
Each DPP installment is 25% of the semester account balance.
The deferred payment plan is only offered for the fall and spring semesters. It is not offered for summer session fees.
DPP installments are due as noted on our Fee Deadlines page.
To qualify, the current semester balance must be at least $500 after taking into account authorized financial aid, if applicable.
A $40 DPP Participation fee is charged each semester you enroll in the plan and must be paid during the DPP enrollment process.
The first DPP installment must be paid during the DPP enrollment process.
A DPP enrollment request is only good for one semester. A new DPP enrollment request must be made each semester you wish to take advantage of the plan.
