About Your Bursar Account

What is a Bursar Account?

Your student "bursar" account is a central billing account for University tuition charges, department charges (student housing, meal plan, campus health, books, etc), miscellaneous fees, and receiving payments and financial aid. In most cases, a zero balance ($0.00) indicates that no payment is necessary.

 

Your bursar account is not a bank account for holding funds. Students are discouraged from keeping a credit balance on their accounts from overpayment or excess financial aid. In the same way, students should not allow balances owed to accumulate. Accounts with charges left unpaid beyond due dates are subject to late charges and other penalties. Your bursar account requires attention in order to avoid complications. Refer to Payment Policies for more information.
