Your Bill
How You Are Billed
At Miami University, all billing is delivered electronically. You will receive an email notifying you of your balance due. Current students, faculty, and staff will receive this email at their Miami email address. Authorized viewers will receive the email at the email address provided by the student.
You will receive a notification in mid-July for your fall semester invoice and early December for your spring semester invoice. The invoice will include any previous billed balance, new charges and payments since your last invoice, and anticipated credits including Miami aid awarded and finalized. It will also include any payment plan payments we expect to receive on your behalf.
Finalized aid is aid for which you have met all requirements, including entrance counseling, promissory notes, and appropriate credit hour enrollment. Federal Work Study is excluded because it will not be applied directly to your bursar account. For more information, visit StudentAid.gov.
View Your Bill
Students and family members or other individuals who have been authorized to view account information can do so on the Student Account Center. Semester invoices identify all University charges for the semester (tuition and fees, and housing and food if applicable). A paper invoice will not be mailed to you.
Other Charges
Other charges may appear on your invoice. Examples of what are referred to as “authorized allowable charges” include special course fees, meal plan changes, MuLaa, health center charges, and charges from previous terms of enrollment.
By signing the Authorization of Charges form, you agree to allow Miami to use Federal Title IV Financial Aid (if available to you) to pay these authorized allowable charges.
Review Instructions
Avoid Late Fees and Potential Class Cancellation
Students are responsible for paying their total balance due by the posted due date. Late payments are subject to a late fee. In addition, students risk class cancellation and the loss of University privileges, including on-campus housing, for non-payment. Before the due date, we recommend you:
- Make sure your account shows a zero balance or a credit balance due (indicated by parentheses).
- Check your account balance after making registration changes. If you register for courses after the due date, your payment is due upon registration.
- Ensure that your financial aid is finalized and that you have met all requirements. Please note that enrollment changes can impact financial aid.
- Make payment plan payments on time (if applicable).
Students who have their classes cancelled for non-payment will have to re-register if they resolve their balance; there is no guarantee they will have the same class schedule.

Billing/Payment FAQs
Your semester balance must be paid in full by the date listed on our Bill Due Dates page. We recommend that you make arrangements to make a payment before this date to avoid class cancellation, the loss of University privileges, including on-campus housing, and the assessment of late fees. Please be aware that students who have their classes cancelled for non-payment will have to re-register if they resolve their balance; there is no guarantee they will have the same class schedule.
If you receive financial aid, the Office of Student Financial Assistance will send you emails with steps you must take to manage your aid before and after the bill is posted to your account. It is critical that you complete required actions in Banner 9 Self Service - Financial Aid; failure to do so may result in delays to your aid being disbursed to your account.
Payment plan enrollment opens at dates posted on our Payment Plans page. 4- and 3-pay plans are available, allowing you to budget each semester’s bill into monthly installments with zero interest and no credit check.
If you decide to sign up for a plan, know that it is quick and easy to make adjustments in the Student Account Center to account for any potential changes to your balance.

No, but you can enroll in an optional tuition insurance plan. When you log into the payment portal for the first time after the bill is posted, you will be asked to acknowledge Miami’s refund policy and to accept/decline tuition insurance before you can view your balance. If you decline the tuition insurance at that time, you have the option to accept it through the payment portal up to the first day of classes each semester.
Payments from a 529 College Savings Plan should be requested at least 10 to 15 business days before Miami’s due date to allow for processing and postal mail delivery. We recommend you begin this process as soon as the bill is posted to your account because delays can be experienced when transferring funds.
If you anticipate you will not receive your 529 payment before the posted billing deadline, you must complete a required form to notify Miami. Please note that students must authenticate through Duo to access this form; it is not available to authorized users.
