Please note: GSAS, HDS, and HBS students can expect to receive their fall bills on July 10th, with a due date of August 15th.

In preparation, we ask you to review the information below and take any appropriate action.

#### • Plan to Make Your Payment

Please review the accepted [methods of payment](/methods-payment) in preparation for making your fall semester payment. You can also consider the option of enrolling in the [monthly payment plan](/monthly-payment-plan).

**Please note: All students and delegates are encouraged to remit payment online via my.Harvard, if possible, as this is the most efficient payment method.**

#### • Set Up Direct Deposit for Student Account Refunds

Direct deposit is the recommended method for receiving student account refunds. Log in to [my.harvard](https://portal.my.harvard.edu/) to set up direct deposit using a U.S. bank account.

**Stipend Recipients:** To sign up for stipend payments via direct deposit, there is a separate direct deposit system to which you'll need access. You can find instructions on our [Graduate Stipends page](https://sfs.harvard.edu/graduate-stipends).

#### • Harvard Student Health Insurance Waiver Application Deadline is July 31, 2026

All students are charged for student health insurance each term. If you are covered by your family insurance, you may be able to waive enrollment in the University plan.

Information about the Harvard University Student Health Insurance Plan (HUSHP), including criteria for waiving enrollment, is available on the [HUHS website](https://hushp.harvard.edu/). Please note that if a waiver is approved, the $2,477 charge for student health insurance will either be offset by a waiver credit or not appear, at all, on the student account.
