529 College Savings Plan

Payments from 529 Savings Plan accounts can be made online via the UCSC eBill/ePay site. The detailed information for making a payment online is here. Making an online 529 payment ensures that the payment will post to the correct student account quickly. If your plan is not included for online payments, please use the following instructions to have a check mailed to UCSC.

 

You can still have a check mailed to UCSC instead of making an online payment.  Please review the information below if you want to have a check mailed to UCSC from a 529 Savings Plan Account.

  • Please include the Student ID and Name on the memo line of the check to ensure proper posting.

    Financial Service Center
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA
    1156 HIGH STREET
