Using Financial Aid to pay your Registration Bill

When you reach the Pay Registration Bill page:

• If your financial aid is available you will receive the message, Congratulations, you have paid your registration bill.
• If you do not receive the Congratulations message, but have the option to Save My Classes to avoid cancellation of classes due to a pending payment deadline, click on Save My Classes button and then return to try to pay your registration bill each day until you are successful.
• If your financial aid is not yet available, you will be asked to Make an Electronic Payment. At this point STOP, exit the pay window, and try paying your bill at a later date (try for several days in a row until you are successful).

Once you have successfully paid your registration bill, your bill will continue to show that a balance is owed until your Financial Aid award is deposited into your account by the Financial Aid Office. This may take days (or even weeks). As long as you have paid your bill, you will not be charged any late fees and you will not be dropped from your classes. Once your award has been deposited in your account, your balance will show as either $0 or negative dollars (example: -$750). A negative balance is the amount of your Financial Aid Refund.

IMPORTANT: If you change the number of credits you are taking after you've paid your bill, call UM Financial Aid at 406.243-5373 to have your Financial Aid adjusted.

REMEMBER! You may need to pay back some of your Financial Aid if you lower your total credit load after paying your bill.
