Paperless Billing

Ferris State University provides the billing statements electronically to students and their authorized users. The first electronic billing notification is sent about a month before the semester begins to the FSU student email address and to the authorized user email address on file. Any subsequent billing statements throughout the semester are sent electronically monthly.

Students need to set up authorized user access in E-bill before those that would need access to the billing statement, such as parents, can be notified. Students may add authorized users to their account under the E-Bill link in their Ferris360 portal by clicking on "Authorized Users" under My Profile Setup. Students will need to enter a valid email address for their authorized user.

This authorized user access would allow others to receive monthly emails regarding your student tuition bill, see the detailed statement, and pay online using a checking or savings account or credit card. The student bill can include charges such as tuition, books, parking permits, software charges, and library fines.

Students may also have an email sent to a secondary address such as a personal email address, as well as opt into receiving a text message. To enroll, while in E-Bill, select "Personal Profile".

Students who have sufficient financial aid to cover their semester charges do not need to make a payment or enroll in a payment plan. Students who do not have sufficient financial aid to cover their semester charges need to select a payment plan and make their first installment or pay their balance in full by the first installment date to avoid having their class schedules dropped. The table below provides general information on each payment plan available:



Payment Plans



Notes on Payment Plans:

  • A $30 charge will be added to the students' account for enrollment in any of the above payment plans and also for switching payment plans.

Students who have their schedule dropped due to non-payment/insufficient financial aid

Past due balances must be paid in full.
