Payments

The University of Michigan accepts payments on student charges in the form of cash, check, or epayment. The U of M does not accept credit cards. Payments are accepted through the following methods:

(On-line) ePayments

On-Line ePayments may be made 24 hours a day, seven days a week including holidays! An ePayment is processed as an ACH transaction from a personal savings or checking account drawn on a US bank. ePayments are posted in real time. As soon as the ePayment process has completed and a confirmation number has been received by the payer, the ePayment is posted to the student account. (However, please note that in the case of system outages ePayments will be by the evening of the next business day.) If there is a financial hold on the student account, the hold will be released if the payment satisfies the amount of the hold.

Please note: On-line/ePayments MAY NOT be made using credit card checks, from a home equity line of credit account, investment account, or a money market account.

Late Payments

A late payment fee will be assessed and a financial hold will be established if payment is received after the due date or if the payment received is less than the amount due.

• A late payment fee of $30.00 will be assessed monthly on past due balances of $60.00 or more.
• A financial hold will prevent you from registering and receiving an official diploma.

Most financial holds may be released by Teller Services once the full amount has been paid and applied to the student's account. For assistance with payment options, visit the student payments section of this website.
