Billing and Payment

Payment in cash (U.S. dollars only) can be made in the SFS Office which is located in room 327 of the Millennium Student Center.

Please do not put cash payments in the payment drop box outside of the SFS Office. The drop box is for check or money order payments only.

Check payments are accepted in a variety of methods. Please choose what works best for you.

Online

An online eCheck payment is free of charge and can be made 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Payment can be made from a checking or savings account and will post immediately to your student account.

Any eCheck payable to the University of Missouri which is returned unpaid will be assessed a $20.00 return check fee. Check with your banking institution before making an eCheck payment to be sure that your account allows ACH withdrawals.

In the Student Financial Services Office

Your payment can be made at the Student Financial Services (SFS) office, room 327 of the Millennium Student Center between the hours of 8:00am and 6:00pm, Monday and Tuesday and between 8:00am and 5:00pm, Wednesday through Friday.

A secure payment drop box and payment envelopes are situated just outside the Student Financial Services office, room 327 of the Millennium Student Center. Only check or money order payments should be placed inside the drop box; no cash payments please. Make your check or money order payable to UMSL, and include the student number and student name.

Send your check or money order to the SFS office at:

Student Financial Services Office 
University of Missouri - St. Louis 
327 Millennium Student Center (MSC 212) 
One University Blvd. St. Louis, MO 63121-4400. 

Both the students name and student number will need to be written on any check or money order that is mailed. 

Personal checks for payment of student fees or other obligations to the University will be accepted only when the amount of the check does not exceed the amount due on the students account. Any check payable to the University of Missouri which is returned unpaid will be assessed a $20.00 return check fee. Learn how to write a check.

Payment can be made online 24 hours a day, 7 days a week from via TouchNet. To login, students should use the student login and authorized payers (parents/others) should use the authorized payer login. Payments submitted after midnight or on weekends will be posted to the student account with an effective date of the next business day.

The online payment system is secure, and payments are posted in real time to your student account. Payment can be made from a checking or savings account or by Visa, MasterCard, Discover or American Express. A non-refundable service fee (2.95% of the total amount charged with a $3.00 minimum service fee) applies to all credit card payments. A payment made by debit card is treated as a credit card payment and the 2.95% service fee applies. To avoid the service fee, select the e-check option and enter your bank routing and account numbers.

Payment using a pin based MasterCard or VISA debit card can be made at the Cashier stations in the SFS Office located in room 327 of the Millennium Student Center. The office is open between the hours of 8:00am and 6:00pm, Monday and Tuesday and between 8:00am and 5:00pm, Wednesday through Friday.

Debit Card payments cannot be made online, but the echeck option uses the bank account and routing number and has NO service fees.

We recognize that many companies offer tuition reimbursement to their employees. While the student is ultimately responsible for the payment of their tuition and fees, the SFS Office has established the ERDPP program to allow a student to take advantage of this employer benefit by deferring payment of all, or a portion, of their tuition and related costs. Any student whose employer reimburses less than 100% of tuition and fees must pay the remaining portion before the start of the semester. Being enrolled in ERDPP defers your due date (listed below) until after the semester is over. Once your application is processed, it will also prevent late fees and finance charges until your due date.

To qualify for ERDPP, a student must fill out the online application (link below) and attach their employer's reimbursement policy and a paystub. They must also pay the $50.00 nonrefundable application fee via TouchNet. A new application and $50 fee must be submitted each semester that ERDPP is desired. Applications are due one week prior to the first due date of the semester. The SFS Office reserves the right to accept or reject a student’s request for ERDPP if the student's account is not considered to be in good financial standing.

After a student has submitted the required paperwork and payment, the remaining tuition and fees on his/her account will be deferred until that semesters ERDPP payment deadline. If the student does not make payment in full by Feb 10th for the Fall, July 10th for the Spring or Oct 10th for the Summer semester, the student’s account will be assessed a $100 ERDPP late fee and placed on financial hold, thus making the student ineligible to register for classes. If the student is already registered in a future term, that registration may be cancelled. In addition, finance charges of 1% and applicable late fees will accrue monthly. For more information about ERDPP see the ERDPP FAQs.

You will need to attach a copy of your employer's reimbursement policy and a paystub when filling out your application.

Complete the online ERDPP Application.

Approved financial aid is used to reduce the outstanding balance on a student’s account. The entry will appear as "Anticipated Aid" on the monthly billing statement and will reduce the current term balance due. On MyView the Anticipated Aid summary includes aid for all semesters for the financial aid award year. The balance remaining after application of the anticipated aid will be billed to the student and will be subject to the minimum payment process and finance charge calculation.

Total Charges - Anticipated Aid = Net Charges

Net Charges X Minimum Percentage Due = Min. Payment Due

The student must apply for financial aid in a timely manner. Late applications will result in finance charges and late payment fees being assessed.  Financial aid is not considered disbursed and eligible for the refund calculation until it appears in the Current Payments/Credits column of the monthly billing statement.

Third Party billing is a payment agreement between the student, university, and the student sponsor. The sponsor is an outside source that takes responsibility for all or partial payment of fees, books, etc. A third party sponsor is not an individual, i.e. parent, grandparents, etc., but a company or agency, such as the military, Vocational Rehabilitation, etc. 

It is the responsibility of the student to turn in a voucher or letter of approval from their sponsor to the SFS Office PRIOR to the first minimum payment date of the semester. To avoid billing complications, the voucher or letter of approval must be specific on the amount and kinds of fees that are covered. It must also contain contact information and a billing address. If the SFS Office does not receive the voucher or letter of approval before the minimum payment date, the student will be responsible for making the minimum payment or risk cancellation of classes.

The Letter of Authorization 

The sponsor must submit a letter of authorization to the SFS office.  The letter from the sponsor should include:

1. Students name
2. Student number
3. Semester or duration of program
4. Type of fees covered (educational fees, parking, books)
5. Address for University of Missouri - St. Louis to send the bill
6. Contact person’s name, telephone number and email address

The sponsor’s letter must also state that The University of Missouri-St. Louis will be paid directly. Payments are not to be sent to the student.

Contact Information 

All correspondence, contracts and payment vouchers from sponsors should be sent directly to:
