Welcome to the Student Accounts Office
The Student Accounts Office administers the communication, billing and receipt of all University charges and payments. If you have questions about your account or about our policies, please contact us or stop by our office in Jorden Hall, Room 204.
Registration as a student at the University of Sioux Falls generates an obligation to pay all charges associated with attendance.
The University of Sioux Falls charges a $50 monthly late fee on the 28th of each month for any account with a balance of $1,000 or more. After six months of inactivity, unpaid balances may be sent to a collections agency per USF collections policy.
Students are responsible for payment of tuition, fees and any other charges associated with their student accounts.
Accepted forms of payment include:
- Monthly Payment Plan (FACTS)
- Credit Card
- Cash / Check
- eCheck
Overages may be due to a combination of scholarships, loans, government tuition assistance and personal payments. Students will receive an email if they are to receive an overage check.
Refunds to institutional charges (i.e., tuition, fees, room and board) are calculated based on the class drop date as recorded in the Registrar's Office.

Payment is due on the first day of the term and is expected prior to attending any classes. It is important to make sure that financial aid agreements have been made, payment plans set up, or payments to student accounts completed with the first 30 days of a semester starting. A $50 late fee will be added on the 28th of each month if you have a balance on your account of $1,000 or over.
The Student Accounts Office accepts cash, check, eCheck and Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover credit cards. If you use a debit/credit card, we have a service fee of 2.7%. You can also sign up for a Payment Plan to pay off your balance in monthly installments. You can view and pay your bill online through your MyUSF portal, however, it is still subject to the 2.7% service fee. You can drop off a check/money order/cash with no fee.
Payments will be considered on time until 4:30 pm CST.
Federal regulations require that all students who wish to have their financial information released to a parent/guardian or spouse sign a FERPA form. The Family Education Rights and Privacy Act protects a student's financial information from being given to another party without their written consent. FERPA forms can be obtained from the Financial Aid office and are good for your whole academic career.
You need to become familiar with the refund schedule to make sure you drop on time for a refund. Please find and download the refund schedule on MyUSF. If you have any questions about refunds, please contact Student Accounts BEFORE you drop to find out about your refund amount. If you will have a refund, you can expect that by check or direct deposit, if you are signed up, within 14 days of the drop.
If you do not officially drop a class within the specified drop period, you will be responsible for all course charges. Failing to show up does not constitute officially withdrawing from a class.
Financial aid will typically be applied to your account two weeks after classes begin every semester. In order to speed up the process, please make sure you have everything done that is needed on your part - i.e sign the Master Promissory Note, make sure you have your Entrance Counseling done. Not having your part done will hold up your federal aid from being applied.
The first overage of the semester will be available 14 days after your financial aid posts, so roughly one month after the start of the semester. If refunds are created throughout the semester, they will be available on a weekly basis and will be ready on Fridays. You will receive an email when your overage check is ready to be picked up. If you have a direct deposit, you will also receive an email when the deposit has been initiated and will receive your money faster than waiting for a check. Depending on your bank, you could see the money in your account a few days after you receive that email.
Parking tickets can be paid in the student accounts office. If you have it, try to bring your ticket with you when paying for fine.
