OFFICE OF Student Accounts / Bursar

This office is responsible for bursar functions, such as tuition calculation, billing, accounts receivable, collections, refunding, and 1098T tax reporting.

The Office of Student Accounts/Bursar recommends that the student refers to their My Akron account online to confirm daily updates of their registration, financial aid, or other changes to their charges, such as meal plan and housing. Students are notified by their university email to view their e-Bill online. Paper bills are not mailed. Students may view their account, pay online, set up a payment plan, authorize parent access, and address other financial matters by entering their UANet ID and password and clicking My Experience followed by Student Center.

The Office of Student Accounts/Bursar also offers Authorized Parent Access for parents or other persons, if authorized by the student, to view the student account balance, pay the bill, or receive an eBill. Sign-up is located on the student’s My Akron account.

Promise to Pay Plan (PPP)

The Promise to Pay Plan is an option offered by The University of Akron to help students and their families spread out payments of tuition and University of Akron housing/meal plan expenses over the course of the term.

If the student has Anticipated Aid displayed on their account, this amount will be used to reduce the amount due. 25% of the net balance is required as the down payment on the payment plan, along with a $35 application fee. Sign up online through the student’s My Akron account on their Student Center. The payment plan closes after the first week of the term.

If financial aid paperwork is complete, funds will be disbursed 10 days prior to the start of the term.
