Billing

Affording college is challenging. Paying your bill should be simple. That's why we've made it possible to complete many transactions electronically.

Billing Information

Electronic billing is the official method for billing all enrolled students. Students agree to electronic statements the first time they enroll in courses.

Billing statements are updated monthly. Students are notified at their UMKC email address when the statement is available for viewing. Bills will be emailed only to the UMKC email address on file and the email address of any authorized users. You will not receive a paper bill unless you request one.

Electronic billing statements can be viewed from Pathway. Instructions on accessing invoices in Pathway are included in the email notification.

If you register for classes on or after the first billing date for the semester, you will not receive a billing statement before the first payment for the semester is due. Please make the initial payment on Pathway by the due date for the semester.

  10. Minimum payment - The total amount of current term charges due on your account, divided by the number of installments remaining in this term. A 1% finance charge will be applied to the unpaid adjusted amount due. The minimum payment amount also includes any past term balance and other charges that are due in full.

The University assesses a 1% monthly finance charge on the unpaid portion of the total billed balance. You can avoid the finance charge by paying the total balance each month.
