Where and How to Pay



Pay Electronically (UM Pay electronic payment service):

The University of Minnesota offers a way to pay electronically on the Web using UM Pay.

Payments can be made online by Credit card (there is a fee for paying by credit card - cards accepted include: MasterCard, DISCOVER & American Express - Visa is NOT accepted) or with an e-check from your checking or savings account. The e-check is a direct debit to your checking or savings account. UM Pay electronic payments are easy and convenient and are posted to the student's account the same day if submitted before 5pm Central Standard Time (if a payment is made after 5pm CST, it will be posted to the student account the following evening).

Students must set up any authorized payers in the system in order for them to make payments electronically on the student’s behalf (this includes setting up parents as authorized payers on the student’s account).

Pay by U. S. Mail

Address your payments to:
Bursar Office
University of Minnesota, Twin Cities
P. O. Box 88
Minneapolis, MN 55440-0088

Note: Payments mailed to this address are processed by an outside lockbox company.

  • Do not send scholarship checks, cash or overnight deliveries to the P.O. box address.
  • Also, if you are paying for multiple students with one check, please mail the payment directly to the East Bank Bursar Office (not to the P.O. box address) for processing (see Bursar Office Locations and Hours for address).
  • Please make your check or money order payable to "University of Minnesota." Write the student's ID number on your check and include it with the payment portion of the billing statement. If you used the UM Pay electronic billing system to view your bill, please be sure to download and print the "Printable Version/PDF" copy (and not a copy of the bill on the web screen) to include with your mailed payment. This will ensure timely crediting of your payment. If you do not have a billing statement, write the student's ID number on the check and indicate that the payment applies to the student account billing.

    Please allow sufficient mailing time for your payment to be received by the due date. Payments must be received, not postmarked, by the due date to be considered on time and to avoid additional charges. Do not use campus mail to send payments.

    Please do not mail any other University bills to the P.O. box address. Mail those payments to the address listed on the bill itself.
