The Bursar's Office receives a number of similar questions each day. Click on a question below to view the answer.
Billing Information
Check the semester Schedule of Classes, or go to the Bursar's Office Dates & Deadlines page.
The Bursar's Office sends account statement monthly. If you increase units, you may not receive an account statement before it is due. You should verify your account balance each time you change your registration by checking UAccess. Late fees apply to unpaid tuition whether or not you have been notified.
You do not need to have an account statement available to make your payment. Detailed payment options are available on our website. Please make sure your billing address is correct in UAccess. If you register or increase in units once the semester begins, you will NOT receive an account statement prior to the 21st day of the semester. Your account must be paid by the 21st day of the semester to avoid the $125.00 Unpaid Tuition Charge. You should verify your account balance each time you change your registration by checking UAccess. Late fees apply to unpaid tuition whether or not you have been notified.
Outstanding balances will generate a monthly account statement. If the balance is for registration into a course, and for any reason you will not be attending, you must drop or withdraw prior to the first day of the semester. Please remember that you are financially and academically responsible for your enrollment. Go to UAccess to verify enrollment, drop or add classes, check your account balance, or pay by checking, savings, American Express, MasterCard or Visa. Effective May 5, 2014, credit and debit cards will be processed by a third-party vendor, Nelnet. When a credit or debit card payment is made, Nelnet will charge a 2.5% service fee, in addition to the University of Arizona payment amount.
It is important to identify the origin of the charge first. Various departments may place charges on your student account. Go to our Dispute Information to determine the type of charge and the department's contact information. The Bursar's Office is unable to provide details regarding another department's charges, nor can we adjust, correct, or remove these charges. You must contact the issuing department with any questions or disputes concerning their charge.
Your residency classification for tuition purposes and lawful U.S. presence statuses can be found in UAccess Student on the Demographic Data page. If your Lawful Presence (Prop 300) status is not showing as "verified" then you should submit your documentation to the Registration and Transcripts Office (Administration Building, main floor). If your residency classification for tuition purposes is incorrect you should contact the Residency Classification Office.

No, not if you have enough financial aid coming in to cover all of your tuition. If your financial aid is not reflected on your account, go to UAccess > Notices & Holds > Pending Financial Aid to verify that your tuition has been deferred pending the arrival of your financial aid. If your aid is not enough to pay all of your tuition, pay your portion by the due date to avoid late charges.
Check your Account Inquiry in UAccess and view the Activity screen to see if your financial aid has been applied to your student account. A debit with the description "refund" means that we have sent your residual funds. If you signed up for Web Refund on UAccess your money was sent via ACH. (Normally, it will take 2-3 business days for this money to appear in your bank account.) If you haven't enrolled in Web Refund, a check was mailed to you. If you do not receive it within 15 days, see Reissuing Checks. If your financial aid has not been applied to your student account, please contact the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid.
Graduate Student (GA) Information
GA benefits, including the payment of insurance, are processed after position information is entered into UAccess Employee and all position requirements (enrolled in six grad units, etc.) are satisfied. Please check with your hiring department for additional information.
Refer to the Tuition Calculator for tuition rates. A nonresident GA employed during the fall and/or spring academic semesters will be charged at the GA Reduced Tuition, equivalent to resident tuition, in place of nonresident tuition rates. You should select Resident in the fee calculator. The remaining tuition you need to pay out-of-pocket depends on your FTE, enrollment and dates of employment, and will only apply to standard graduate resident tuition. This coverage is limited to what is charged and is not applicable to other fees. GA Remission is 50% of the standard graduate resident tuition rate for those hired at a total FTE less than 0.50 and 100% for those hired at a total FTE greater than or equal to 0.50. You are responsible for the fees and any program or course-specific charges.
