Billing & Payment Procedures
E-Notification
A monthly e-mail will be sent to you if you have a balance due. The e-mail is your official billing notice. You will not receive a ‘paper bill’ in the mail. The e-mail you receive will include the tuition due date, a link to http://www.umflint.edu/sis/ where you can access detailed account information, and make credit card payments. It will be your responsibility to access your UM-Flint student e-mail account for E-Notification regarding your balance due and payment due date. Any unpaid balance will receive a 1.5% interest charge each month. Students can forward the e-mail to their parents or print a copy.
Failure to receive an official university tuition and fee bill/ e-notification does not relieve any student of responsibility for payment by the due dates. Account balances can be verified by accessing "Account Summary by Term" on the University SIS Web site.

You will not be able to register for a future semester and you will not be able to request official transcripts until your balance is paid in full.
Third Party Billing
If an outside agency is paying for your tuition you need to provide the Cashiers/Student Accounts Office with a Voucher or Letter of Authorization to Bill. Vouchers must list the exact classes the student is registered for and vouchers must be submitted in a timely manner to avoid penalties (preferably the first 3 weeks). Vouchers that are turned in after the semester has ended will not have penalties removed.
If you are receiving other forms of Financial Aid it is important that you include the voucher information to the office of Financial Aid so that it is calculated in your Financial Aid package.
You will not see your Voucher or Letter of Authorization to Bill post to your account until after the Add / Drop period has ended.Many vouchers can be printed from their websites. Some common websites include:
- General Motors
www.uaw-gm.org
To access this website you will start with the employee’s last name and social security number.
- Michigan Education Trust (MET)
www.michigan.gov/setwithmet
Students with MET Contracts must contact MET and request them to authorize
UM-Flint to bill.
