What is the University of Arizona Bursar's Office website?
Updated
bursar.arizona.edu is the website of the University of Arizona Bursar's Office, the campus office responsible for student billing and payments. Use it if you need to understand or manage a University of Arizona student account — viewing account statements, choosing a payment option, or checking dates and deadlines. The site is organized around billing and payment tasks, with separate guidance for new students and for payers using financial aid, benefits, or third-party agencies.
What the Bursar's Office handles
The Bursar's Office is the billing and payment side of the university, not admissions, registration, or academic records. Its site covers:
- Billing — how charges are assessed and where to see them, including account statements.
- Payments — the ways tuition and other charges can be paid, plus specialized payment paths.
- Dates and deadlines — the timing that determines when payment is due and what happens around those dates.
- New student guidance — an overview of the typical billing and payment process and an introduction to the student account.
Main service areas on the site
| Area | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Billing | Account statements and the billing side of your student account |
| Payment | The entry point for making payments |
| Payment Options | The available ways to pay |
| Tuition Payment Plan | Paying tuition in installments rather than a single sum |
| Financial Aid Payments | How financial aid is applied to your account |
| Graduate Assistant Benefits | Payment handling tied to graduate assistant benefits |
| Military Benefits | Payment handling tied to military benefits |
| Third-Party Agencies | Payments made by outside organizations on a student's behalf |
| QTR / EAP / DPTP | Employer and tuition-reduction benefit programs |
| Account Statements | Viewing the statements that show charges and payments |
Who it serves
The site addresses two main audiences:
- Students — who own the account and are ultimately responsible for the charges.
- Authorized payers — parents, guardians, or others a student has given permission to view or pay the account.
New students get a dedicated starting point: an overview of the typical billing and payment process and an explanation of what a student account is. If you are new, that section is the logical first read before looking at payment options or deadlines.
How to use it
- Start with New Students if you have never dealt with a university student account — it explains the process end to end.
- Check Dates and Deadlines to know when payment is expected, since deadlines drive late fees and enrollment consequences.
- Go to Billing / Account Statements to see what you actually owe and what has already been applied.
- Choose a payment path under Payment Options — or the specialized page that matches your situation (financial aid, graduate assistant benefits, military benefits, third-party agency, or an employer tuition program).
- Set up a payment plan via Tuition Payment Plan if you cannot pay the full balance by the due date.
Things to keep in mind
- The Bursar's Office handles money owed to the university; questions about grades, enrollment, or academic standing belong elsewhere.
- If someone else is paying, they generally need to be set up as an authorized payer before they can see or act on the account.
- Aid and benefits do not always cover everything — check your statement after financial aid, military benefits, or third-party payments are applied to see any remaining balance.
- Deadlines on the site are the operative dates; confirm them there rather than relying on secondhand information.
