Understanding Your Billing Statement

Sample Billing Statement

A sample billing statement (PDF) can be downloaded to assist you in understanding the various sections of your bill.

Billing notification emails are sent to students (and any Authorized payers) on a monthly basis.  Statements are also available online at http://ebill.umsl.edu



Billing Notification
Every month, an email is sent to the (umsl.edu) email address notifying students that a bill has been generated and is ready for viewing.  Any authorized payers that the student has set up on eBill will also receive a notification email.  To change your notification preference log on to eBill and select the User Preferences option. 

Statement History
Users can view and print the current billing statement as well as previous statements. 
  • To view a statement that is before May 2007; sign on to eBill, choose the desired bill from the drop list and click the Display Bill button.  These billing statements will be displayed in the old billing format and cannot be viewed from the Statement History option that is within the new eBill system.   
  • To view a statement that is after May 2007; sign on to eBill, choose the desired bill from the drop list and click the Display Bill button.  Next, select View Accounts then Statement History.  From here you can view any statement from May 2007 up to the most recent bill.

Current Activity
To view current activity on your student account, sign onto eBill and click the Display Current Activity button.  Payments posted to your student account since the last billing date will be displayed.  Payments made on eBill the previous day before 5pm will also be displayed.

Make a Payment
An electronic payment can be made on eBill through a checking or savings account or by credit card (MasterCard or Discover cards only). To get to eBill to make a payment, go http://ebill.umsl.edu. Students will click the MyView button and Authorized Payers (parents/others) will click the Authorized Payer button.

Students: Sign in to MyView with your MyGateway ID and password. (For help in signing in to MyView, see the gatewayid.umsl.edu page to retrieve or set up your MyGateway ID and password.)

If you are signing in to MyView for the first time, you will need to agree to the UMSL e-consent policy.  Click here to find out about e-consent and how to agree.

  1. Once you have e-consented, click the 'Self Service' link on the menu bar.
  2. Next, click on 'Student Center'.
  3. From your student center, click the 'Make a Payment' link under the Finances section.
  4. From this ‘Make a Payment’ page click the Continue button to be taken to eBill where you will make your payment. Before clicking the Continue button, make sure that your internet browser is set to allow pop-ups from MyView. Read the paragraph above the Continue button to find out how.
  5. From eBill, select the Make a Payment option and continue to each page filling in the fields until you have submitted your payment. 

Authorized Users: Beginning on April 18, 2008, Authorized Payers can login to eBill with the User ID and password that were e-mailed to them.  On April 16, 2008, all Authorized Payers were sent an email containing a new eBill User ID. On April 17, 2008 an email was sent containing a new eBill password.

Only the User ID's and passwords that were e-mailed will grant access to eBill. Authorized payers may then use the Maintain User Profile feature to change their password. If the password is forgotten, only the student can re-issue the authorization.
