I was told to 'confirm my bill' what does this mean and how do I do it?

Confirming your bill (paying fees) is MSU's way of verifying that you are truly attending classes for the semester before we process refunds to students. All students must confirm their bill (pay fees) by the fee payment deadline. This can be accomplished in several ways:

  1. If all costs are paid by you, you will need to pay all fees before the fee payment deadline. Fees can be paid via MyInfo by selecting Electronic Billing and Payment, mailing a check or money order to Student Accounts, PO Box 172640, Bozeman, MT 59717-2640, or in person at the cashiers located on the first floor of Montana Hall.
  2. If a portion of the costs are paid from other sources (i.e. financial aid, athletics, vocational rehabilitation) and there is a remaining balance, you must pay that balance in one of the above ways before the deadline.
  3. If all your costs are paid from other sources (i.e. financial aid, athletics, vocational rehabilitation) and you have a zero or negative balance, you must confirm your bill by clicking on the "Confirm" button at the bottom of your web bill in "MyInfo" before the deadline.

Where are the deadlines published for fee payment, drop/add etc?

Where can I find how much I owe the University?

MSU uses a paperless billing system. To view your web bill, students may log in to MyInfo and select Electronic Billing and Payment.   Students may also setup an authorized payer, such as a parent, to receive and pay bills electronically from the Quikpay button on this web page. It is the student's responsibility to review their charges online and confirm their bill (pay fees) by the deadline. A $40 Late Fee will be assessed for all students who have not confirmed their bill (paid fees) by the deadline.

How do I pay my bill?
