What is the Bursar's Office?

The Bursar's Office at Concordia University Irvine is responsible for the distribution of information relating to a student's financial account. We interact daily with students, parents, faculty, staff and administrators along with outside agencies either in person, by phone, or by email. Our goal is to provide outstanding service while maintaining a high level of integrity, honesty, and professional ethics.

This Office also acts as a clearing-house for student charges and credits. We are responsible for collecting payments for tuition, room and board, and other miscellaneous fees directly related to tuition. We are also responsible for processing refunds. We generate and mail tuition bills each semester 30 days prior to the due date. Statements are mailed upon request to student mail boxes and home address as provided through Banner Web. Students may also look up their University charges and credits through Banner Web at my.cui.edu.

Billing & Statements

Your Student Bill:
Your student bill includes your tuition, class fees, financial aid, payments, and housing and meal plan charges if you will be living on-campus. Bills are sent prior to the beginning of each semester. Bills are sent to the home address.

Statements:
Your statement reflects all the activity on your account for the current term as of the billing date, including charges assessed, payments, and financial aid credited to your account. Statements are mailed upon request.

Charges:
Charges include all applicable fees as listed in the official fee schedule as well as housing and meal charges for the plans that you have chosen and the dorm in which you reside.

Fines:
Departmental charges such as housing fines and library fines must be paid in full by the departmental deadline. Fines not paid or appealed within this time period are considered delinquent, and the amount of the fine will be added to the student's account.

Payments:
Payments and tuition deposits are reflected on your bill in the Credit/Anticipated Credits section.

Financial Aid and Scholarships:
The Credit/Anticipated Credit section of the bill also reflects any aid that the University has received on your behalf. If you are aware of aid not reflected on your bill please contact the party responsible for your aid:

From the Office of the Bursar

Dear Student/Parent:

Welcome! The Bursar's Office is here to provide you with information about the overall cost of attendance, payment options, due dates and refunds at Concordia University. We are also here to assist you as you financially prepare for your education. We provide several alternative payments and will work with you to find the best option for you. Our goal is to make your experience at Concordia as financially feasible as possible.

As the school year begins, we would like to provide the information below to guide you as you pay your tuition and other charges. This information will assist you in making timely payment of your tuition room and board.

Banner Web - We encourage you to manage your account through Banner Web online. After you login, from the Main Menu select "Student Services" then "Student Records" and select: "Account Summary / Student Bill" to view your current University term charges and credits.

Payments MUST be received by the due date, whether you receive a Student Bill or not. It is the sole responsibility of the student to adhere to payment deadlines of his/her tuition and accommodation fees. If you make changes resulting in increased costs (after the payment deadline), you are required to make full payment of the difference when the changes are made. Tuition charges and fees are assessed when the student registers. Room and board charges are assessed upon assignments. It is the student's responsibility to ensure that all necessary documents are submitted and approved by the correct department to allow housing and meal charges be reflected on the tuition bill. All tuition, housing, meal and fee costs are due by the payment deadlines to avoid a $100 late fee.

Failure to pay by the beginning of the semester will result in the loss of the student's schedule.

Financial Aid and Scholarship Recipients - If your financial aid and/or scholarship(s) do not cover your semester charges it is your responsibility to seek alternative payment options for the amount of tuition remaining. Payment plans, Alternative loans, and Parent Plus-loans are available.

Financial Aid recipients - It should be noted that students must register Full-Time to receive Financial Aid. It is the student's responsibility to notify the Financial Aid Office if the student registers below 12 units. Please visit Financial Aid or The Bursar's Office for further information.

Payments - Payments can be mailed in, made in person or made online. We accept cash, check, money order, cashiers check or credit card payments. Credit Card payments can only be made online; we accept MasterCard, Discover and American Express. Electronic check payments can also be made online.

Monthly Payment Plans - If you enroll with Tuitionpay, you will carry a balance until all payments are made. It is the responsibility of the student to verify that the remaining payments through Tuitionpay will pay off your semester or annual balance for your tuition, fees, housing and meal plan.

A late payment fee of $100 will be assessed to your account if there is an outstanding balance after the designated due date.

Student Refunds - Proceeds originating from student aid in excess of your account charges may be requested after the first day of classes. All financial aid requirements and documentation must be completed and approved before your refund is disbursed. For further information, click here.

Please use our web site as a resource as the information provided on the site is intended to help answer questions quickly and effectively regarding your University charges and credits.
