Welcome to the UMass Boston Bursar's Office
Payment Information
Bills
Bills are issued monthly to any student with a balance. Payment must be made by the due date on the bill to avoid late fees of up to $250.00.
Payments
(The Bursar's office will only accept checks drawn on US banks)
Payments options included: cash, check. money order, cashier's check.
- Cash payments must be made in the Bursar's office.
- Check, money order and cashier's check payments may be made by mail or in person to the Bursar's office or at the One Stop.
In addition to the above payment options, UMB works with an external vendor, Sallie Mae® to process E-check and on line Credit Card payments(MasterCard, Discover, and American Express) . This service is available online 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. A 2.50% non-refundable convenience fee is assessed for each Credit Card or Debit Card transaction. Go to On-line Payment for detail.
*A returned check or rejected E-check will result in a $25.00 fee.
Nonpayment will result in a hold being placed on a student account which will prevent a student from:
- registering for a subsequent semester, and
- getting grades, and
- graduating, and
- getting transcripts
* All payments are subject to verification which could delay the removal of the Administrative Hold.
Important: Bills unpaid for 3 months after the end of the semester for which they are due will be sent to collections. Accounts in collection are assessed a 25% collection fee.
The Bursar's office now offers in-house payment plan for current semesters. This is an interest-free way of spreading tuition payments on a monthly basis. The contract amount must be for the entire outstanding balance which will be divided into equal monthly payments. Failure to make your payments on time will result in a late payment fee and administrative hold being placed in your account. All enrollment forms for Fall 2009 have to be returned to our office by October 10, 2009 with your first payment attached. Please call our office or email Renee Browne for further information.
*Failure to enroll by due date on bill will result in non-waivable late payment fees.
Excess / Refund
Excess is created when the total payments on an account are greater than the total bill. Excess payments will result in the issue of a excess/refund check.
Notification that an excess check is available is made by an e-mail sent to a student's UMass e-mail account. A student can forward his/her emails from the UMass account to an alternate email address.
