Welcome to the Fall 2016 semester.

Below is a checklist and important information for all your

Student Financial (Bursar) needs during the upcoming semester.

Checklist
To do the following, log into the myUCCS student portal, click on the Students tab, then click
on Student Financials (Bursar). A list of links (see below) will appear showing some of our
services. Click on the links for those services as described in the checklist below.

View Your Balance: Click on the "View Your Balance" link in the student portal to view
your charges and credits for the Fall 2016 semester, including tuition, fees, housing,
financial aid, COF, etc.
Authorize Others to View and Pay Your Bill: Click on the "Authorize Others to View
and Pay Your Bill" link in the student portal to add a person (such as a parent or family
member) to view and pay your bill.
Authorize Direct Deposit: Click on the "Authorize Direct Deposit" link in the student
portal to set up direct deposit to your financial institution for any overpayment to your
student account, including refunds for financial aid over-awards.
Authorize COF: If eligible (Colorado resident, undergraduate), and you've already
applied for the College Opportunity Fund (COF), click on the "Authorize COF" link in the
student portal to authorize UCCS to use your COF to receive a $75-per-credit stipend on
your student account. This is not necessary if you have previously selected lifetime
authorization. If needed, first apply for COF at https://cof.college-assist.org, then wait for
2-3 days to authorize COF.
o Courses added after census date (Thursday, September 8) are not eligible for
COF.
o The deadline to apply for and authorize COF for Fall 2016 is Friday, December 9.
Enroll in Payment Plan: By Thursday, September 8, if you do not plan to have your
balance paid-in-full, click on the "Enroll in Payment Plan" link in the student portal to
enroll in the auto-deduction payment plan. Payment plans are available on a semesterby-semester basis you must sign up for the payment plan every semester you wish to
use it.
o At the time of enrollment in the payment plan, a $40.00 service fee is charged.
o The payment plan is auto-deduction only. Do not make manual payments when
enrolled in the plan. The scheduled payments will always deduct on the 20th of
the month, regardless of any manual payments.

Pay Your Bill: If you don't enroll in a payment plan, click on the "Pay Your Bill" link in
the student portal to make payments online. Your balance must be paid-in-full by 5pm,
Thursday, September 8; otherwise, late fees and service charges will be assessed.

The following are additional checklist items.

Submit Tuition Assistance (TA): If applicable, submit TA requests for 3rd party
sponsorship and billing. Contact the TA office at (719) 255-3399.
Check UCCS email: Regularly check your UCCS email accounts for communications
from our office about your student account. On Tuesday, August 16, if you have a
balance, we'll post your first Fall 2016 e-bill online, and you'll receive an email
notification telling you how to view your bill (and how to make payments if you are not
enrolled in a payment plan). NOTE: We do not mail payer bills, other than a one-time
courtesy for first-time students at UCCS.

Important Information

Late and service charges will be assessed on any unpaid, past due balance at
5pm, Thursday, September 8. There will not be a grace period before late and
service charges are applied.
You are not charged tuition and fees for waitlisted classes until you are officially enrolled
for the course. Your balance will increase once you are officially enrolled for the course,
so if you previously had a $0.00 balance before the waitlisted classes was added, you
will now have a new balance due.
If your tuition and fees are being paid from a college savings plan, please request these
funds as soon as possible. It will take a couple of weeks for the school to receive those
funds, and we do not honor post marks for reversing late fees.
You will only receive an 80% or 60% refund by the published withdrawal dates (Friday,
September 16 for 80% or Friday, September 30 for 60%) if you completely withdraw
from all courses at UCCS. If you are still enrolled in other classes, classes that are
dropped after census (Thursday, September 8) are not refunded.
There is a 2.75% service fee for all credit and debit card payments, both in-person and
online. You can avoid paying the 2.75% service fee by paying online with an e-check,
which is an electronic debit from your checking or savings account. You may also mail a
paper check to:
University of Colorado, Colorado Springs
ATTN: Cashier
1420 Austin Bluffs Parkway
Colorado Springs, CO 80918
For security purposes, the Bursar's office cannot take payments over the phone.
Some types of financial aid are based upon credit hours enrolled. If you drop below full
time status, you may need to pay back some or all of any financial aid refund you
received. Please contact financial aid at 719-255-3460 or finaidse@uccs.edu with any
questions related to aid.
