Bursar FAQ
Billing and Payment Answers
How do I set up an authorized user for my parents or guardians?
In TouchNet, select ‘Authorized Users’ from the right-hand menu, enter your parent or guardian’s email address, and select their viewing permissions. They will receive secure login credentials to view electronic statements and make payments.
When will my financial aid disburse to my student account?
Financial aid typically disburses during the third week of classes after course add/drop enrollment is finalized. Financial aid that has been accepted and verified displays as ‘Estimated Aid’ on your bill, reducing the amount you must pay out-of-pocket.
How do I download my 1098-T tuition tax statement?
Electronic 1098-T forms are available each January via TouchNet under the ‘Statements’ tab. Students who opted into paperless delivery can view and print statements instantly for federal tax filing.
Does UB accept third-party employer tuition reimbursement?
Yes. If your employer provides tuition reimbursement, submit your company’s tuition assistance voucher to Student Financial Services before the semester due date to defer payment until grades post.
