The final step is to input your method of payment. There is a processing fee for credit or debit cards. 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 September (i.e., SHIP insurance, if applicable). Even if you have already paid your student account please remember to log in during September 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. If you have questions about your billing statement contact billtalk@umd.edu.
