Billing

Accessing your MSU student account

Enrolled students may view tuition, waiver, and payment itemization online under “Account Detail” at STUINFO.

Visit the MSU Office of the Controller's help index page for helpful information about student accounts. You may call Student Receivables at 800-775-4323 toll free (or at 517-355-3343) with any billing questions.

Electronic billing

Tuition statements are only available electronically in STUINFO and are not mailed. The billing system will automatically send an email notification to the student's MSU email address when a bill is ready to be viewed online, so be sure to check your MSU email regularly.

Billing schedule

Tuition statements are posted in STUIFNO about six to eight weeks before the beginning of each semester. Students receive an email to their MSU email account when statements are ready to view. Students are given two weeks after the tuition statement is posted, or two weeks after enrollment, to make payment arrangements.

Click here, and select the relevant semester, to view the appropriate tuition availability date and payment due date.

Payment methods  

MSU's Office of the Controller provides information on payment methods, here: http://www.ctlr.msu.edu/COStudentAccounts/MethodsofPayment.aspx#WireTransfer

Third-party tuition payment

Students can grant guest permission to employers or other interested parties to view the student's tuition information online, using the guest's email address. Due to privacy regulations, only the student can grant this permission (MSU staff cannot do this for you). To do so, go to your STUINFO account (www.stuinfo.msu.edu) and click on "Other" and "Manage Guests." This video illustrates how to grant guest access: https://player.vimeo.com/video/76901685?title=0&byline=0&portrait=0&color=548654.

Paying for multiple students

Each student account must be paid with a separate check or money order and corresponding payment coupon. Paying multiple accounts with one check or money order will result in the payment being applied to only one account and a possible drop of classes or additional fees charged to the other accounts.

International student health insurance waiver

International students are automatically enrolled in MSU’s Student Health Insurance Plan, or SHIP. If you will not be studying from the United States and will not be on campus during the semester, you may apply for a SHIP  charge exemption. You will find the link to do so in SIS, or link to it here: apply now for a health insurance exemption.

Here is where you can find the best information regarding the charge and how to request a waiver or an exemption: https://oiss.isp.msu.edu/health-wellness-and-safety/us-health-care-insurance/

Please email ihealth@msu.edu if you have any questions regarding SHIP and the waiver.

We recommend that students pay the tuition portion of their bill while they are waiting for the insurance charge to be removed. If you need an extension on a deadline, make sure to email Student Accounts at CTLR.StudentAccounts@ctlr.msu.edu.
