U-Bill Payments and Billing Details
Accounts Receivable Office
The Accounts Receivable Office bills students for tuition, room and board, and various other university charges. Students receive an emailed billing notice on the first of each month, when the bill is made available in Workday. It is the student’s responsibility to regularly check their Iowa State email account. Students may pay their university bill by direct debit through Workday.
Students who do not receive a billing statement before the term begins and are unable to use Workday to view their bill should contact the Accounts Receivable Office to learn the amount of their account balance due. Failure to receive a billing statement or to view their account on Workday will not exempt students from late penalties or prevent a hold from being placed on their registration.
If payment is not made by the deadline printed on the billing statement, a 1% finance charge will be assessed and a hold will be placed on the student’s registration until full payment has been made.
Deferred Payments and Past Due Accounts
- University fees may be paid in three installments each academic term. Students can enroll in their Workday Financials Hub. There is a $20 fee per semester to use this plan.
- Students with past due accounts may be dropped from enrollment if the overdue balance is not fully paid before the first day of classes.
