Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Your student may check their up-to-date account balance by logging into UCDAccess and scrolling to the "View/Pay My Bill" section. In addition, your student may set you up as an “Authorized Payer”. This will allow you to view your student’s electronic billing statement (E-Bill), print it out if you desire, and make an online payment. Once your student has set you up as an Authorized Payer, they will give you a special login ID and password to use when accessing their E-Bill. Each time a new E-Bill is available for your student, you will receive an email notification including a link to the E-Bill login and step-by-step instructions for accessing your student’s E-Bill. If you typically pay your student’s tuition and fee bill, CU Denver encourages you to ask your student to establish you as an Authorized Payer.

To set you up as an Authorized Payer, your student will need to:

  1. Log into UCDAccess
  2. Select "View/Pay My Bill" at the top of the page
  3. Click "Authorize Payers" on the left-hand menu
  4. Follow the instructions to authorize a new payer on your account

You may pay online with an electric check or credit (a nonrefundable 2.85% service fee applies to all credit/debit card payments), in-person at the Bursar's Office, or mail a check or money order payment to the address provided on the .PDF version of your student's E-bill.

When are bills available?

Bills are generally available to view online at least three weeks before each payment due date. Please refer to the Billing Calendar for specific dates.​

How are bills distributed?

Bills are only available online.

CU Denver has implemented an official E-Bill (electronic billing) program. CU Denver does not mail paper billing statements to students, all registered students must access their student account bill through UCDAccess.

Students will receive an e-bill notification in their UCDenver.EDU email account each time an E-Bill has been posted. Students may authorize their parent(s) or other payers (up to five people) to view their bill and make online payments on their behalf. This authorization is done on UCDAccess under the financial tab. Once set up, the authorized payers will also receive an e-bill notification when their student's bill is available. CU Denver strongly suggests that your student set you up as an authorized payer.​​​​

What if I do not receive an E-Bill notification?

Bills must be paid by the due date to avoid service charges even if you or the student does not receive the official E-Bill notification. Students can view their account balance online at any time via the UCDAccess student portal.​
