Billing HOW

24
00:01:44,723 --> 00:01:52,228
UB sends an eBill notification email each time a billing statement is generated.

25
00:01:52,228 --> 00:01:59,337
This email is a notification that an online bill has been generated; it is NOT the actual bill.

26
00:01:59,337 --> 00:01:59,655
This email is sent to your @buffalo.edu account to let you know your online bill is ready.

27
00:01:59,655 --> 00:02:14,561
You will not receive a paper bill.

28
00:02:14,561 --> 00:02:20,476
The notification email is NOT your actual eBill.

29
00:02:20,476 --> 00:02:26,793
It DOES include information on how to access and read your eBill, such as:

30
00:02:26,793 --> 00:02:32,499
Instructions how to go to HUB and use QuikPAY to view your actual eBill.

31
00:02:32,499 --> 00:02:38,548
Your name, UBID, invoice amount, and the invoice date.

32
00:02:38,548 --> 00:02:44,678

33
00:02:44,678 --> 00:02:51,727

34
00:02:51,727 --> 00:03:04,035
Billing WHEN

35
00:03:04,035 --> 00:03:06,951
Typically the month before classes start, eBills are generated.

36
00:03:06,951 --> 00:03:12,892
See UB’s website for specific billing dates for each term: https://www.buffalo.edu/studentaccounts/billing/billing-dates.html

37
00:03:12,892 --> 00:03:19,251
After the bill is generated and before classes start, you must:

38
00:03:19,251 --> 00:03:26,134
Enroll in a payment plan.

39
00:03:26,134 --> 00:03:37,162
See UB’s website for more information on payment plans: https://www.buffalo.edu/studentaccounts/payments/payment-plan.html

40
00:03:37,162 --> 00:03:40,585
Please note:

41
00:03:40,585 --> 00:03:48,662
If you register for classes on or after your eBill is generated, you will be billed for those changes after add/drop is over.

42
00:03:48,662 --> 00:03:58,138
Those changes made after your eBill has already been generated will appear in your next eBill.

43
00:03:58,138 --> 00:04:04,966
Any late payments are assessed a late fee.

44
00:04:04,966 --> 00:04:13,647
Billing WHERE

45
00:04:13,647 --> 00:04:17,395

In HUB, click the Billing/Payments tile.

47
00:04:21,399 --> 00:04:25,553

00:04:33,416 --> 00:04:38,243

Billing WHAT

53
00:04:57,271 --> 00:05:05,775
UB generates a billing statement for the current semester, not the entire year.

54
00:05:05,775 --> 00:05:06,948
The billing statement includes:

55
00:05:06,948 --> 00:05:10,541
Your Name

56
00:05:10,541 --> 00:05:13,268

61
00:05:30,677 --> 00:05:34,736
New York State (NYS) Resident Tuition:

62
00:05:34,736 --> 00:05:40,707
Living in NYS for college does NOT automatically make you a state resident!

63
00:05:40,707 --> 00:05:46,492
Your residency and your tuition rate is determined at Admission.

64
00:05:46,492 --> 00:05:54,259
Twelve (12) months duration of in-state permanent domicile is required for NY state residency.

65
00:05:54,259 --> 00:06:02,320
Proof of NY state domicile for the past 12-months PRIOR to the start of the term for which you applied is required.

66
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:10,545
Failure to provide all required documents by your department's deadline will result in financial responsibility for out-of-state tuition.

67
00:06:10,545 --> 00:06:22,616
Contact the department you are applying to for more information about state residency.

68
00:06:22,616 --> 00:06:30,847
UB only charges tuition for the credit hours you are registered for at the time of billing.

69
00:06:30,847 --> 00:06:39,446
If you have not registered for all classes at the time of billing, you will see additional tuition and fee charges over the course of two billing statements.

70
00:06:39,446 --> 00:06:45,472
Additionally, the Current Activity tab in QuikPAY includes charges that take place after the eBill is generated.

71
00:06:45,472 --> 00:06:56,646
See UB's website for more information on tuition and fees: https://www.buffalo.edu/studentaccounts/tuition-and-fees.html

72
00:06:56,646 --> 00:07:05,367
All students are charged mandatory broad-based fees, regardless of the mode of instruction: in person, remote, online, or hybrid.

73
00:07:05,367 --> 00:07:13,826
Bills may include additional fees for classes that require a lab charge or other special fees.

74
00:07:13,826 --> 00:07:26,492
See UB's website for more information on: Tuition and Fees https://www.buffalo.edu/studentaccounts/tuition-and-fees.html, Broad-Based Fees https://www.buffalo.edu/studentaccounts/tuition-and-fees/broad-based-fees.html, Meal Plans https://myubcard.com/mealplans, and Campus Housing https://www.buffalo.edu/campusliving/apply-for-housing/rates.html.

75
00:07:26,492 --> 00:07:32,691
All full-time students are automatically charged for student health insurance.

76
00:07:32,691 --> 00:07:39,751
If you have other health insurance coverage, you must submit a waiver request online each year.

77
00:07:39,751 --> 00:07:46,779
For approved waivers, a credit will post to your account to offset the student health insurance charge.

78
00:07:46,779 --> 00:07:52,720
Waivers not approved prior to the payment due date may receive a late payment fee.

79
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:58,519
Submit at least two weeks prior to the payment due date to avoid a late fee.

80
00:07:58,519 --> 00:08:08,908
See UB's website for more information on student health insurance: https://www.buffalo.edu/studentlife/life-on-campus/health/medical-care/health-insurance.html

81
00:08:08,908 --> 00:08:16,182
eBills also record all Credits, such as payments, deposits and any anticipated financial aid.

82
00:08:16,182 --> 00:08:24,262
Credits are subtracted from charges to calculate the Amount Due.

83
00:08:24,262 --> 00:08:31,986
For financial aid to be deducted on your bill, you must complete all related HUB To-Do List items.

84
00:08:31,986 --> 00:08:42,324
Financial aid missing from your eBill may indicate that you have outstanding HUB To-Do List items; new items can be added at anytime--check frequently!

85
00:08:42,324 --> 00:08:47,101
Questions about any missing aid should be directed to the Financial Aid Office.

86
00:08:47,101 --> 00:08:49,439
See UB's website for more information on financial aid: https://financialaid.buffalo.edu/

You as a student can also create accounts for Authorized Payer(s) to access QuikPAY.

91
00:09:22,483 --> 00:09:30,034
An Authorized Payer is a family member or spouse who can access eBills, make payments, and enroll in a payment plan.

92

Common online payment methods include:

97
00:10:06,667 --> 00:10:09,765
US checking or savings bank accounts.

98
00:10:09,765 --> 00:10:15,953
Major credit cards, (Mastercard, Visa, Discover, AMEX).

99
00:10:15,953 --> 00:10:22,023
Check payments may also be made by mail, as well as third party payments.

100
00:10:22,023 --> 00:10:31,953
See UB's website for more information about how to pay your bill: https://www.buffalo.edu/studentaccounts/payments/pay-your-bill.html

Additional Bill Pay Info:

102
00:10:35,767 --> 00:10:39,903
Paying in Installments:

103
00:10:39,903 --> 00:10:46,077
To pay in installments spread out over time, enroll in a Payment Plan:

104
00:10:46,077 --> 00:10:49,789
Enroll in a Payment Plan in QuikPAY.

105
00:10:49,789 --> 00:10:56,009
QuikPay will then give you a contract with payment dates specified.

106
00:10:56,009 --> 00:10:59,769
There is a $45 non-refundable enrollment fee.

107
00:10:59,769 --> 00:11:06,810
During the semester, payments are automatically deducted from either a US bank account or credit card.

108
00:11:06,810 --> 00:11:12,697
You must re-enroll in a new Payment Plan each fall and spring.

109
00:11:12,697 --> 00:11:23,214
See UB's website for more information on payment plans: https://www.buffalo.edu/studentaccounts/payments/payment-plan.html

110
00:11:23,214 --> 00:11:26,246
Refunds:

111
00:11:26,246 --> 00:11:31,971
It is highly recommended that you enroll in direct deposit for financial aid refunds!

112
00:11:31,971 --> 00:11:38,008
Direct deposit refunds are received much faster, generally within forty-eight (48) hours.

113
00:11:38,008 --> 00:11:44,192
If you are not enrolled, it takes two (2) weeks or longer for a mailed paper check.

114
00:11:44,192 --> 00:11:49,968
Direct deposit also safeguards against paper check loss or theft.

115
00:11:49,968 --> 00:11:55,224
Checks lost in the mail (or in your room) are common!

116
00:11:55,224 --> 00:12:00,923
Having direct deposit means your money isn't sent to Unclaimed Funds.

117
00:12:00,923 --> 00:12:08,266
Enroll in direct deposit in QuikPAY under Manage Refunds; this is where you provide your bank account information.

118
00:12:08,266 --> 00:12:27,944
See UB's website for more information on direct deposit of refunds: https://www.buffalo.edu/studentaccounts/refunds/refund-direct-deposit.html

119
00:12:27,944 --> 00:12:32,914
Make a plan for payment success!:

120
00:12:32,914 --> 00:12:37,939
Make a fiscally responsible plan for paying your bill.

121
00:12:37,939 --> 00:12:43,029
Take care of your HUB To-Do List items as they are added.

122
00:12:43,029 --> 00:12:47,881
Set up Authorized Payer access as desired.

123
00:12:47,881 --> 00:12:52,909
Waive or pay the Health Insurance charge every year.

124
00:12:52,909 --> 00:12:58,012
Sign up for direct deposit of refunds to avoid lost checks.

125
00:12:58,012 --> 00:13:03,081
Watch for additional eBills throughout the term.
