Welcome to the Office of the Bursar

The Office of the Bursar Strives to provide a simple and easy experience for students to make payments to the university, get their PolarExpress ID cards, and find suitable parking on campus. Below you will find brief explanations of the many different services that we provide, as well as links to our policies and most frequently used forms.

New Student Checklist

Analytical. Resourceful. Dedicated. Progressive.

The Office of the Bursar is the focal point for students, staff, and faculty as they navigate their fiscal responsibilities at the University. We undertake the management of financial resources, provide guidance for sound fiscal practices, and act as a central collection point for University receipts. Our mission is to maintain a positive reputation through our excellence in service to the campus community, which we strive for through our customer-centric approach: We foster a welcoming environment where we meet all viewpoints with attentiveness and respect. We manage the University’s financial resources safely, ethically, and with a high level of transparency. We encourage staff members to grow their knowledge and abilities while they meet challenges head on. We work to make paying your student account as easy as possible so you can focus on your education.

Take care of tuition and fee payment, buy a parking decal and get a PolarExpress card at one convenient location!
