How do I log in to pay my bill? My normal LIU login won't work
As a Student of LIU, you have TWO login’s to access different resources. Pay attention to which you are being asked for.
- If you are Asked for your username or User ID this will be your first.last. It’s the same as your email just with out the “@my.liu.edu”
- If you are asked to enter your mail then enter the full email.
In both cases your password is the same
When must I clear my bill?
Students are expected to clear their bills before the start of classes. In the event that a student fails to do so, the account will be considered to be not in good financial standing. Students with past due balances will be assessed the following:
- A late fee of $50 will be charged to students with past due balances on the 45th day after the start of the term. An “Account Past Due” Bursar Hold also will be placed on past due balances to prevent the student from receiving transcripts, diplomas, grade mailers and other official University documents. Students with past due balances greater than $500 also will be prevented from engaging in University activities, such as registering for classes.
- A second late fee of $100 will be charged to students with past due balances at the end of the term.
My bill is cleared but I have not received my refund - when can I expect to receive this?
Student refunds that are expected from student loans will be disbursed in compliance with applicable federal regulations and University policies. Refunds need not be requested as they are issued automatically; once the transaction is processed, it will be posted to your Account Activity page and subsequently issued to you via check and sent to you at your current mailing address. For additional information, please visit your campus Bursar.
I would like to participate in the University’s payment plan. How do I sign up?
Students may take advantage of the LIU payment plan that allows you to spread out your payments from the beginning to the end of the academic term. There is an enrollment fee of $35 per term. The payment plan is a written contract between you and LIU. As an added benefit to participate, there is no interest charged when payments are made in a timely manner. To join, stop by your campus Bursar’s office and the staff will assist you in calculating your payment schedule. Please visit the LIU Post Bursar website (http://www.liu.edu/post/bursar) or LIU Brooklyn Bursar website (http://www.liu.edu/brooklyn/bursar) for downloadable forms.
My charges due balance differs from what was included on my LIU bill. How do I reconcile this difference?
Your LIU bill is generated at a particular point in time, and every month thereafter, and includes all transactions in your account as of the date of the bill, including anticipated financial aid.
In contrast, your My LIU webpage shows account activity on a real time basis, taking into account drop/add activities, withdrawals, and payments.
Differences between your bill and information within My LIU may trigger an adjustment that will be accounted for in future billings that will be sent to your mailing address.
There are many items included in my Account Activity detail. What do these transactions mean?
The account activity screen shows separate columns for charges, payments, and refunds by date and term. Charges consist of amounts billed to your account for mandatory tuition, fees, and other costs associated with your enrollment.
Payments represent amounts remitted by the student, application of financial aid and scholarships, and reversals of charges resulting from various actions, including drop/add activities, tuition remission, and waivers. Refunds represent amounts returned to the student.
For additional information on your activity detail, please contact your campus Bursar.
I have a student financial-related hold on my account that is preventing me from registering for classes. How do I resolve this problem?
