Payments

Payments are due by the start of the semester. The university no longer mails paper bills.  Students are notifed at their VCU email address when eBills (account statements) are available in the Billing and Payment Website.  Students may access a copy of their eBills (account statements) through eServices.  Students may also assign an authorized user in the Billing and Payment Website, in order that the user may view the eBills (account statements) and make online payments on behalf of the student.  eBills (account statements) are issued according to the billing schedule and will not automatically update with changes.  If changes are made to the students' accounts after the eBills (account statements) are issued, students may view their current student account activity reflecting the updated balances through eServices and/or through the Billing and Payment Website.  Authorized users may also view the  current student account activity reflecting the updated balances through the Billing and Payment Website.  Students whose payments are received after the payment deadline may be assessed a late fee and/or a registration hold.  The late fee is 10% of the unpaid balance and does not exceed $100.
