Billing Information

Each UMSL student has a student account - a cumulative record of charges from UMSL and credits (such as scholarships, loans and payments). We bill you by posting a monthly student account billing statement on TouchNet around the 17th of any month in which there's a new charge or credit on your account. UMSL will send you and your authorized user (if any) a billing notification email reminder to check your statement and pay any balance due. The umsl.edu email address will be used for students and the email address on file will be used for authorized users.

View or Pay a Billing Statement

Students can view and pay billing statements by logging into TouchNet with their SSO ID and password.

Authorized Payers can view and pay billing statements by using the Authorized Payer Login and logging in with their email address and password. Students can add an Authorized Payer in myView.

Non-Authorized (Guest) payers can pay billing statements by using the Guest Payer Login. Login to PayPath with the students eight digit student ID#, Date of Birth, Last name, and Term of intended payment. Non-Authorized payers can pay by Credit Card only. A service fee of 3% of the amount charged will apply to all credit card payments with a $3.00 minimum service fee. Guest payers do not have access to view online bills.

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 will also receive a notification email.

Any student registering on or after the first day of the semester will be charged a nonrefundable late registration fee of $250.00

Payment Plans

Eligible enrolled UMSL students have the option to pay their semester balance in monthly installments throughout the semester. Payment plans are optional and help students avoid a monthly finance charge.

Billing Questions

We bill the student - but if you're an undergraduate, we recommend that you set up one or both of your parents as authorized users (UMSL does not send out paper bills to currently enrolled students). Parents will not get any direct billing information unless you set them up to be an authorized user.

Bills are due on the tenth day of each month. See above for the billing schedules based on payment plan enrollment.

The Student Financial Services office offers several payment options, including a payment plan option with monthly installments. Your monthly installment can be found on your TouchNet Dashboard. Students not enrolled in a payment plan will have their entire account balance due in full. You can find your account balance amount in your TouchNet Dashboard. All payments made to the Student Financial Services Office are final.

Finance charges are not assessed for students enrolled in an active payment plan. If a student does not enroll in a payment plan, a finance charge of 1% of the Adjusted Amount Due will be assessed monthly if the entire account balance is not paid in full by their billed due date.

 

For students enrolled in a payment plan, a $25 late payment fee will only be charged if they have been billed and have not made their full installment payment by the due date. Students not enrolled in a payment plan must pay their account balance in full to avoid the monthly $25 late payment fee.

 

Students will not be allowed to register for future terms until their account balance is paid to $1000 or less in the current term and their account is considered to be in good financial standing.

Good Financial Standing refers to a student's ability to manage their financial responsibilities in a way that ensures they can meet all tuition and living expenses in a timely manner, in alignment with University policy and due dates. This includes staying current with payments and maintaining eligibility for financial aid or scholarships. A student not in good financial standing will be restricted from charging purchases at the bookstore except required text book and from registering for upcoming semesters.

 

Student accounts must be paid in full before a student will be permitted to register for upcoming semesters, receive transcripts or receive a diploma. All fees, fines, bookstore charges, etc. must be paid by the last day of the term. After the semester ends, unpaid accounts will be turned over to an outside collection agency. Collection agency fees of 25% of the unpaid account balance will be added to the students account. You will receive notification from one of these agencies, and have access to make payments and check your balance online from the agency web site.
