Greetings!

Today's Tip helps you understand how to access your UMD Financial Services account and understand charges.  

Steps to Manage Your Financial Account

Bill Pay i s the website to access your financial account, make payments, and request refunds.

The billing and payment FAQs are very helpful in answering questions such as:
  • When is my bill due
  • How to add my parent to make a payment
  • Acceptable payment methods and payment plans
  • Costs & Fees

To access your account click here



Click the "Access Account" the top of the page and a separate tab will pop-up with the following screen.



Click on Student Log in, and enter Your Directory ID and Password and it will bring up the following screen.


Click Current Activity Details to find out how much you owe and leave that tab open.

Then Click on Make a Payment button. This is where you will select the amount that you want to pay on your account.  If you wish to pay the full amount of your account, make sure the number you input here matches the total account balance on your student account activity details page. 


The final step is to input your method of payment.  There is a 2% processing fee for credit or debit cards.  You are not charged this fee for transfer payments from checking or savings accounts.  When everything is filled out, click submit. 
In two or three days, your payment should show up in your student account inquiry page.  


Please note that some fees will not appear on your account until later in January and February. (ie, SHIP insurance)  Even if you have already paid your student account please remember to login in during January and February and review any new charges. It is always to your advantage to pay your account charges promptly as this will avoid any late payment charges.

International Student Scholar Services looks forward to welcoming you this spring.  We pride ourselves in providing comprehensive services unique to international students and we encourage you to take full advantage of these services.    The University of Maryland (UMD) charges a fee of $125 per semester for all newly enrolled students requiring an I-20/DS-2019 issued by the University. Students  enrolled in an academic program operating on the 12-week calendar, who require an I-20/DS-2019 issued by the University will be charged a fee of $62.50 per term. UMD will use the revenue from this fee to enhance support for our international students to include improved academic support, expanded assistance for students transitioning to the U.S. and international student-focused cultural events to foster an engaged, supportive community.  


We are excited to welcome you to the University of Maryland and look forward to meeting you in a few short weeks during the International Student Orientation!
