What are my payment options?

The student's account is billed for the full account balance for each payment date; however, a minimum payment amount is allowed. The minimum payment amount is derived by dividing the current term charges by the number of scheduled payment dates remaining in the semester, and adding the total of any previous semester remaining balance. The Fall (August-December) and Spring (January-May) Semesters each have 4 months of payments. The Summer Session (May-July) has 2 months of payments.

Example:
The student goes through early registration in March for the upcoming Fall semester. Four months of installment payments are available, beginning with the first payment due on the first Friday before classes start. If the total amount billed for current semester charges is $3500 and there are no previous semester charges, the first installment payment will be for $875.00.

The required minimum payment must be made by the due date to avoid having classes cancelled. You may also pay the total due or any amount greater than the required minimum. Any payment amount less than the total due results in a 1% monthly finance charge on the unpaid billed balance. Enrollment is not complete until the minimum payment is made. Your student ID will not be activated for bookstore charging, use of the student rec center, etc. until the required minimum payment is made.

What if I have financial aid or scholarships?

Financial aid and scholarships ("aid") that have been approved but have not yet paid to the student account are considered to be "anticipated". Anticipated aid is deducted from the current term balance in the Billed Balance Calculation area of your monthly billing statement. The balance remaining will be billed to the student and the minimum payment must be paid by the due date to avoid having classes cancelled. The remaining balance will also be subject to the 1% monthly finance charge. When the aid is received, it will be applied to the student account but there will be no reduction in the amount due since the aid was already taken into consideration and deducted from the current term balance. Current term aid should not be used to pay past term balances. Aid is intended to be used for the semester for which it was applied.

What if I have Third Party Sponsorship?

If the Cashiers Office has valid approval from the Third Party Sponsor prior to the student registering in classes, then the sponsor credit will calculate and show on the student's account once they have selected classes. If the credit does not show once the student has selected classes, then the student should contact Sponsor Billing at: Cashiers Office, University of Missouri-Kansas City, AC 112, Kansas City, MO 64110; Attn: Sponsor Billing; 816-235-1365.

If you do not have full sponsorship for all your fees, you must make at least the minimum payment in order to hold your classes! If you make the minimum payment, you will be subject to a 1% monthly finance charge on the unpaid billed balance. If you owe a past term balance, it must be paid in full.

What happens if I miss the payment due date?

A late fee of $10.00 will be added to your Student Account if at least the Minimum Payment is not received by the Due Date shown on the Monthly Billing Statement.

If we do not receive this payment, you may also be subject to sanctions, including denial of access to the Swinney Recreation Center, elimination of student charge privileges, and inability to add/drop classes. Failure to pay will also result in denial of future registration access and withholding of transcripts or diplomas.

If your Student Account continues to be delinquent, your classes will be subject to cancellation. If you went through Early Registration, you will have to register again through regular registration to re-enroll in classes after we receive the required payment. If you re-register after classes have begun, this will be considered a "late registration" and you will incur a Late Registration Fee.  If your classes are cancelled due to non-payment, any refund to you will be subject to the University's refund schedule.

Past Due amounts owed the University must be satisfied by payment in full. If necessary, the University will pursue appropriate collections practices, which may include referrals to a collection agency for accounts that remain Past Due, resulting in an additional collection charges assessed by the collection agency.

What types of charges will be on my bill?

Your bill will show charges for classes and residential life. It will also show charges from the bookstore, dining services, etc. It will NOT show charges for sororities and fraternities. Please see Understanding Your Bill for more information.

What payment methods can be used to pay my bill?

Cashiers accepts the following methods of payment:

• Cashiers checks, money orders, travelers checks
• Personal checks - The amount of the personal check may not exceed the amount due from the student. A student whose checks are returned from the bank unpaid will incur a $25 service charge per check.

Students may utilize the following options when paying fees:

• Pathway - You may pay your bill online via direct debit of your checking or savings account. You may also pay using Mastercard and Discover credit cards through our third party vendor which is also accessed through Pathway if you are a student or through direct login to Quikpay if you are an authorized user.  The charge amount may not exceed the amount due. Please be aware that a 2.75% service charge will apply to all credit card payments.  Refunds based on credit card payments will be refunded to the credit card.
• Cashiers Lobby, 112 Administrative Center - For those who wish to pay in person. If you are paying in cash, you must pay in person.
• US Postal Service

1. If you have the remittance stub from your billing statement, you can mail in a payment to our clearing house used by the University of Missouri system to receive payments and is located at P.O. Box 80-7810, Kansas City, Missouri 64180-7810.
2. If you do not have the remittance stub, you can mail in a payment to the Cashiers Office located at 5115 Oak St., Kansas City, MO  64110.

Is there a late fee if I do not pay my bill by the due date?

Yes.  Student accounts will be subject to a late fee of $10.00 when payment is not received by the scheduled due date as communicated on the student's Monthly Billing Statement. If the Minimum Payment or Billed Balance Due is paid on or before the scheduled due date, as it appears on the student's Monthly Billing Statement, no late fees will apply.

Is there a finance charge?

The University assesses a 1% monthly finance charge on the unpaid portion of the billed balance. The finance charge is based on the previous billed balance and will not be assessed on the current charges for that billing cycle. You may avoid the finance charge by paying the total billed balance each month.
