Student Billing Questions and Answers

1. What is E-billing and E-payment?

Beginning Spring 2005, the University of Oregon will introduce QuikPAY®, an electronic system for all students to view their bills, print their bills and make payments online. Through the new QuikPAY® system, an email will be sent to each student's official University of Oregon email address and any authorized payers email address every time a new Student Billing Statement is ready. As a convenience during the transition to QuikPAY®, the student will receive both a paper and an electronic bill.

2. What is the difference between my monthly E-bill and the account information I can see on Duckweb?

The monthly E-bill is a web-based presentation of your student bill. It represents a snapshot in time of your monthly bill. In addition, it will also reflect account activity that has occurred since the billing statement was created.

Duckweb displays your complete account history - it is updated every night to display transactions that have occurred in the previous 24 hours.

3. Is the InfiNET QuikPAY® website secure?

The University of Oregon believes that security is a very important factor in providing E-billing and E-payment services. The technical architecture/security of the InfiNET product uses intrusion detection and firewall systems to protect the network. 

4. Are the University of Oregon E-bills accessible to visually impaired students?

The University of Oregon electronic bill is ADA (American Disability Act) compliant and is accessible to students with disabilities.

5. When is my payment Due?

Your payment is due on the first of the following month.

6. How can I make an E-payment?

E-payment is an optional feature of QuikPAY®. Checking and savings account information from a bank within the United States can be entered at the QuikPAY® website and payments will be transferred electronically to the University of Oregon. You will have the option to have the site retain your bank account information or you may enter it each time you make an E-payment.

Authorized payers will only be able to view their own payment and bank information. Each authorized payer is assigned a separate PIN number for added security and privacy. 

7. Can I pay my bill with a credit card?

At this time, the University of Oregon does not accept credit card payments for payment of student accounts.

8. I do not feel comfortable paying my bill online.  What other payment methods are available?

Paying electronically is the preferred bill payment method but it is optional. You may send payments by mail or pay in person at Cashiers, first floor of Oregon Hall. To send a check or money order through the mail to our payment processing center, please print a copy of the PDF bill, detach the bottom portion of the statement and mail it with the payment (payable to University of Oregon with your UO ID number printed clearly on the front of the check) to:

 

UO Accounts Receivable

PO Box 6364
Portland, OR 97228-6364

Express mail, FedEx packages and Outside Award checks should be delivered to:

University of Oregon
Oregon Hall, Cashier's Office
1585 E 13th Ave
Eugene, OR 97403

9. Do you accept credit card payments?

No, not for the academic year comprising Fall, Winter, and Spring terms. Credit cards are, however, accepted for Summer Session tuition.

10. Do you accept payments from foreign bank accounts?

The QuikPAY® system cannot accept payments from foreign bank accounts. If you cannot pay your bill through a bank account in the United States, we recommend wiring the payment to the following account:

Beneficiary: Oregon State Treasury
Receiving Bank:

11. Where do I pick up a refund check?

Financial aid refund checks may be picked up at the Student Loan counter, 1st floor of Oregon Hall.

12. What service did I receive on this date at the Health Center?

For detailed information on such charges, the student should inquire at the Health Center. Student Billing personnel have no access to this confidential information.

13. Why is there a hold/block on my account?

Most likely it is because you have a past due Student Account. Your account has to be current in order to get access to the registration system or to get copies of your grade transcripts. Many other offices on the campus place holds on student accounts and the registration system will tell you the phone number for the office that placed the hold.

It is also possible that you tried to register before your assigned time.  Students often think that they have more credits that the official record shows, or have included credit for the current term when looking up their registration time.

If you have a question concerning a hold on your account, contact the Collections Department at (541) 346-3215).

14. What are "future due" items as shown on my bill?

"Future Due" items are charges set up to be due at some future date. Examples are Short Term Loans which have a maximum 90-day repayment period, and Health Center charges for which payment is due within 30 days of the service date that is shown in the bill's description column. The delay on the Health Center charges due date is to allow students with medical insurance the time necessary for the insurance billing and payment process to complete.

15. Please explain the differences between "minimum due," "total due," and "account balance."  Can I make monthly payments?

"Minimum due" is 1/3 of the tuition plus any other charges currently due. Interest and billing charges are assessed on the unpaid balance. "Total due" is the amount you would need to pay by the 10th of the month to avoid the interest and billing assessment. "Account balance" represents all charges on your account including "future due" items.

Yes, you can make monthly payments. If you choose to pay the "minimum due," you are in effect making monthly payments.

16. What is a "Short Term Loan?" and a "Short Term Loan Service Charge?

"Short Term Loans" are part of the university's financial aid service to its students. All registered students who do not currently have a past due balance or an existing Short Term Loan are eligible to receive such a loan.

The loans are made in maximum amounts of $300.00 with a $8.00 service charge. This $308.00 total is due no longer than 90 days from the loans issue date. If repayment is timely, there are no other interest or billing assessments.

If you have any other questions, please contact Student Billing (Accounts Receivable) at (541) 346-3170.

17. What is a Matriculation Fee?  How much do I owe for this fee?

18. How do students log in and view their bills?

Students will receive a monthly email notification with the subject line 'University of Oregon Student Account Bill-' with a link to the QuikPAY® website where their University of Oregon ID number and PAC are used for authentication. Students can also access their account through Duckweb. Upon login, students can view the bill, set up and store bank account information, pay the bill electronically, and print paper copies.

19. How can my parents/authorized payers log in and view the bill?

People other than the student may have the ability to view the bill as an authorized payer. Students must set up authorized payers in the system. Students will Login to the University of Oregon QuikPAY® website via Duckweb and select "Authorize Payer" on the navigation bar Follow the online instructions to create a user name and temporary password for each authorized payer. (The temporary password must be changed by the authorized payer when he or she first logs in to the site.) Authorized payers will receive an automated email notification with the login name informing them that they have been authorized. The student will provide the password to the authorized payer. Each billing cycle, both the student and authorized payers will receive an email notifying them that the E-Bill has been sent. Students and Authorized payers receive a link in their email that takes them directly to the QuikPAY® login page.  

20. How can my parents/authorized payers pay the bill?

Once the authorized payer is established they can make payments through E-payment, an optional feature of our new system. Checking and savings account information from a bank within the United States can be entered at the QuikPAY® website and payments will be transferred electronically to the University of Oregon. You will have the option to have the site retain your bank account information or you may enter it each time you make an E-payment.

No one else will be able to view a payee's confidential account information, not even the student. In the interest of security and privacy, each authorized payer is assigned a separate PIN number to access their account and payment history.

Authorized payers can print the bill and send a check or money order through the mail to our payment processing center (payable to University of Oregon with the student's UO ID number printed clearly on the front of the check) to:

If you have a question concerning a hold on your account, contact the Collections Department at (541) 346-3215.

2. Can I make partial payments on my account?

Everyone is given the option of making payments on their account as long as the current term's charges are paid during the current term. Our billing process will normally show one-third of the current term's tuition and dormitory charges due for each month of the term. Most other charges are due in full when they are placed on the Student Billing system and shown on the next billing statement.

Some charges are placed on the system with a due date one or more months in the future. Short Term Student Loans are generally due three months after the disbursement date. Student Health Center charges are also given a due date three months into the future. This is to allow a student time to submit the charges to their insurance company for payment.

3. Can I make payments on my account for an extended length of time?

If you are not planning to re-enroll at the UO and will not need your transcripts soon, you can pay over an extended period of time. Your grade transcripts and access to the registration system will be blocked when your account is past due, even though you are making payments. You will also be assessed interest and a re-billing charge each month. If your account becomes over 90 days past due, we may offset (take) your Oregon State Income Tax refund even though you are making payments.

4. How much do my payments have to be?

There isn't a set amount. You should review your budget and determine the largest amount you can pay towards your UO debt. Keep several things in mind when determining your payment amount.

  • The UO is like any other creditor and deserves to be paid before you incur other credit obligations.
  • You may have other student debts, which will be coming due soon and should try to get your UO debt paid before then.
  • The larger your payments, the sooner the debt will be paid off and you will have access to your grade transcripts. You will also pay less in monthly fees.

5. What happens if I don't (or can't) make payments?

We understand that some people have greater financial problems than others have and will be very flexible in the amount of your payments, however we must receive monthly payments toward your debt. If you do not pay, regardless of the reason, we will assess monthly charges and block your records. We will also offset (take) state tax refunds.

We send billing statements each month and will send several letters notifying you of the delinquent status of your account. If you go very long without payment, your account will be forwarded to an outside agency for collection. If that does happen, you will be charged additional collection charges. The collection agency may report the account to national credit bureaus as well as take any other action necessary to collect the debt.

6. I need my transcripts to be sent to another school. What do I have to pay?

In order to get copies of your transcripts to either yourself or to another school, your accounts must be "current". "Current" means that no unpaid charge(s) first became due more than 40 days ago.

For student loans all due amounts must be paid.

7. My Perkins (or National Direct Student) Loan is past due. How does that effect my re-enrollment or transcripts?

Any delinquent UO account, including Perkins/NDS Loans and U of O Long Term Loans will cause blocks on re-enrollment and transcripts. All of the above information applies to those loans as well.

8. I need my transcript for a job application or to get my XXXX certification. (Teaching, Architectural, Legal, etc.) What do I have to pay?

To get complete access to your records, your account must be current. We will, however, release transcripts under the following conditions.

  • The transcripts will only be released directly to the prospective employer (or certification organization) by mail.
  • You must have been making monthly payments or make an immediate, substantial payment toward the debt.
  • Some extremely old debts must be paid in full before any transcripts will be released.

9. I don't have the money to pay my UO account. What can I do?

If you are a current student you should talk with your Financial Aid advisor to see if you might be eligible for additional aid. Of course, you should also talk with parents or other relatives too. If you are no longer a UO student, or are not eligible for additional Financial Aid, here are some suggestions.

  • Borrow from parents or other relatives.
  • Get a pay advance from your employer.
  • Transfer the UO debt to credit card or other type of debt by
    • Writing a VISA or MasterCard check.
    • Get a cash advance and send a bank check.
    • Get a loan from a bank or credit union.
    • Have your parents take a loan.
  • If your UO debt is a Perkins/NDS Loan, you may be able to get a "consolidation loan". Several organizations, including the U.S. Government, offer loans with many different repayment plans, which can be used to consolidate all of your student loans into a single loan.
