IMPORTANT “NEED TO KNOW” INFORMATION ABOUT THE REGISTRATION BILL PAYMENT PROCESS

Where can I find my registration bill?

UM uses your official UM email to provide you with important information, reminders and updates.  You will receive an email when your registration bill is available in CyberBear. Use the NelNet QuikPay portal to view your account balance and make a payment. 

SPRING 2024 - AVAILABLE AT 1:00 PM ON DECEMBER 4, 2023

Are payment plans available?

Yes, you may view your payment plan options available to you in the Nelnet QuikPay account portal.

What are the consequences if my classes are cancelled?

When your classes are cancelled, you lose access to many of your University privileges (list is not all-inclusive and there may be other access and services affected if registration is cancelled).

• May not have access to your Moodle account.
• May not be able to use Campus Recreation facilities.
• May not be able to obtain you student athletic tickets.
• May not have access to Curry Health Center services.
• May not have access to Dining Services and Residence Halls if you live on campus.
• May not have access to services offered through ASUM (Associated Students of the University of Montana).

What are my options if I am expecting a refund?

You can receive your refund by Direct Deposit (ACH) to your bank account rather than a check

 in three easy steps:

1. Log in to your CyberBear account and select STUDENT SERVICES.
2. Under the Student Account & Billing section, please click on “Student Refunds.”
3. You will then click on “Select Option” and follow the instructions. You will need your bank name, bank routing number and checking/savings account number (debit card number will not work).

If you do not select an option, a check will be mailed to your UM mailing address.  Direct Deposit takes 3-5 business days.  A check takes 10-14 business days and requires you to keep you mailing address updated to ensure receipt of your check.  Refund files are processed each Tuesday and Friday, except during weeks that have a holiday.  Holidays may require the process to be modified.
