STUDENT BILLING INFORMATION FOR 2011-12

Students and their families view student billing statements online through UR ePAY. UR ePAY is a full service eCommerce solution providing students with “24/7” access to view electronic billing statements (eBills) and remit secure web payments. Students also enjoy the option of providing parents and other third parties with permission to view bills and pay online.

Fall 2011 billing statements will be available to view online beginning July 20, 2011. An e-mail notification will be sent to the student’s University of Rochester e-mail address when the statement is available to view.

Students should complete each item below to ensure they receive their billing statements!

Log into your Blackboard account at http://my.rochester.edu, using your NetID and password. Click on UR ePAY on the left-hand side.
Select "View Accounts" on the left-hand side. Choose "Current Statement" to view your current billing statement. Check the "payment due date” listed on the bill; be sure to remit payment on or before that date to avoid late fees.

Electronic billing is the official method of billing. Paper bills are not mailed to students. Students should print their UR ePAY statement if needed. Students are responsible for viewing their billing statement online each month.
Select the “Authorize Payers” option from the menu at the left to provide parents or other third parties with the ability to view and pay the student's bill via their own login and password. You will be asked to create a Login Name and password. Please note that this is a temporary password which you will need to provide to your Authorized Payer. Please try to keep it simple, such as “july1234”. The Authorized Payer will receive an e-mail notification with the login name. Authorized payers must log into UR ePAY from the Bursar’s Office website. They will be asked to log in and enter the temporary password. Next they will enter a “new password” which is the password they will use from this point forward. Once they are added as an Authorized Payer, they will receive monthly e-mail notification when a new billing statement is available to view.
Select the “Make Payment” option from the menu at the left to pay your balance quickly and securely. You can pay online while you are in UR ePAY, by electronic check (eCheck) or credit card. Electronic check is a fast, free and secure method for you to pay your bill from any checking account without having to mail a check.

To make an electronic check payment using the payment screens, provide your routing and account numbers from the bottom of your check, and the amount you wish to pay. You will receive a receipt documenting the transaction for your records. Press the question mark on the PAYMENTS page if you need help locating the routing and/or account numbers, and you will see an example to assist you.

You may submit check payments by mail, if you prefer, or via wire transfer. Check payments should be mailed to University of Rochester, Bursar’s Office, 330 Meliora Hall, Rochester, NY 14627. Many international students find it is easiest to pay via wire transfer.

Students may also pay online using Mastercard, Discover or American Express. (VISA is not accepted). Please note that the UR ePAY vendor will charge a non-refundable 2.75% convenience fee for any credit card payment. Credit card payments are not accepted at the Bursar’s Office.

Please Note: Once a monthly statement has been posted in UR ePAY, new account activity will not be reflected until the next monthly statement is posted. UR ePAY is updated once each month when a new billing statement is generated. The current statement will not reflect recent payments or changes to your tuition & fees, financial aid, or payment amount until a new statement is generated. Please contact our office with any further questions. Thank you.
