Billing and Payment

Billing

Prior to the beginning of the academic term, tuition, fees, insurance, and bookstore charges are charged to the student's Workday account.

Billing notifications are emailed to the student's UMMC email account. The student can review all charges using the “View Account Activity” function under the Finance Icon in Workday.

The Office of Student Accounting will utilize the Finance Icon Banner to notify students of changes. Check your email, Workday notifications, & Finance Icon Banner regularly for updates to your account. Late fees are assessed to accounts not paid by the payment deadline.

Payment

The payment of tuition and fees is the responsibility of the student. Students may make payments through Workday. Please note that payments made using a debit or credit card will incur an additional fee.

Payment may be made in person in the Office of Student Accounting located in the Verner S. Holmes Learning Resource Center, or payments made by check or money order may be mailed to:

University of Mississippi Medical Center
Office of Student Accounting
2500 North State Street
Jackson, MS, 39216-4505

Returned payment due to nonsufficient funds (NSF) will be charged a $30 NSF fee.

Students who plan for financial aid to pay their accounts are expected to finalize their application and other obligations in time for their aid to be disbursed by the payment deadlines. Please promptly respond to all communication from the Office of Financial Aid to facilitate the timely posting of scholarships, grants, or loan funds. Failure to do so may result in the penalties according to the Tuition and Fees Policy.

If the financial assistance is not going to be ready at the time the account payment is due, it is recommended that the account be paid with private funds to avoid late charges. When the assistance comes in, the overpayment will be refunded to the student.

Student accounts that are not paid on time will be placed on hold. Students may be halted from receiving grades, transcripts, signing up for future classes, and graduation. Accounts must be paid in full for the hold to be removed.

Accounts unpaid by the end of the semester may be referred to an outside collection agency, reported to the credit bureaus, and incur collection fees unless satisfactory payment arrangements have been made. Students are responsible for any fees incurred by UMMC in collecting the account. Collection costs can be up to 40% of the balance due, payable in addition to the original balance.

Refunds

Refunds are processed daily. Please allow for two (2) business days.

UMMC recommends that students sign up for direct deposit through Workday. Students who choose not to sign up for direct deposit will receive their refund by check. Checks are mailed to the student. It may take up to two weeks to replace checks that are lost and have to be reissued. If a check is not cashed within six months, the funds will be returned to the applicable financial aid program.
