    • Note: If the due date falls on a weekend, the due date is the first business day following
  • An email notification is sent to each student's UNI email address when the bill is available (paper copies are not mailed)
  • Students can view their bill, pay their bill, or enroll in a payment plan online at www.uni.edu via MyUNIverse on the Student Center tab.
  • Past U Bill Hold - A student will have this hold placed on their semester registration if their balance is $500 or greater and have no balance due older than 90 days
    • Payment plan options are still available for the 5 month deferment plan until February 20, 2024
    • Once a student account has been placed in collections, the balance must be paid in full before the student can enroll in classes for a future term.
  • Please direct students to Tristan Aldous, Student Financials Counselor in the Office of Business Operations with questions and for specific information on account balances and removing Past U Bill hold
