Division of Finance and Management

Bursar

The Bursar's Office is located in the Montebello Complex, A-Wing - Room 124. The Bursar's Office is responsible for the billing, collection and reporting of University funds.

Student Accounts - Billing
Formal billing statements are mailed out each month, with the exception of January and August due to the registration schedule. During these periods, students can obtain their outstanding balance from the WEB SIS, the University's web site. Students not completing the registration process in April for the Fall term or November for the Spring term will be issued account statements during the "walk-in" (late) registration. Students are responsible for reviewing their billing statements and reporting any anomalies to the Office of the Bursar. If a student has any questions, they can call, visit the office or website at www.morgan.edu/admin/Bursar/index.asp.

Student Accounts - Payments
Account payments can be paid by one of the following preferred means: cash (in person only), certified check, cashier's check, money order, Visa, Master Card, Discover and American Express. Personal checks are acceptable, but if returned for non-sufficient funds (NSF), the check amount will be charged back to the student's account with a $25.00 added penalty. Mail-in payments should be addressed to:

Morgan State University
P.O. Box 2341
Baltimore, MD 21203-2341

The student's name, address and account number must be indicated on a check or money order sent for payment of charges on a student account.
In-person account payments should be presented to the University Cashier, located on the first floor A-Wing of the Montebello Complex. The hours of operation for the University Cashier are Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:45 p.m.
Financial Aid is verified by the Financial Assistance Department before any amount is credited to a student's account. Guaranteed Student Loans and scholarship checks must be reviewed and authorized by the Financial Assistance Department before checks are deposited. If check amounts exceed an account balance, a check will be issued to the student for the balance following the clearance of the deposited check, which takes approximately three (3) working days.

Student Accounts - Deferred Payments
Morgan State University offers a tuition and fees deferred payment program to students unable to pay the total balance due at registration. Generally, deferments are restricted to 20 percent of the total bill. Timely payments must be made according to the standard University deferred payment agreement.
Students receiving a tuition waiver (employees, spouses and dependents) do not qualify for deferments.

Perkins Loans
A limited number of Perkins Loans are awarded through the Financial Assistance Department to any citizen of the United States who is accepted for admission as a full-time or part-time undergraduate student and meets the criteria for loans. A promissory note must be signed by the student, in the Bursar's Office, for each period that a Perkins Loan is granted. Upon graduation or separation from the institution, the promissory notes, repayment schedules, collection and billing procedures are transferred to a contracted billing agency.
