The University Bill

Stanford’s policy is to furnish timely and accurate billing information as well as effective payment options to students. Billing and payment services are delivered electronically on a monthly basis through Stanford’s online billing and payment service, Stanford ePay. Bill notification is sent to the student’s stanford.edu email address as recorded in Axess.

Bill Structure and Components

The bill includes quarterly charges for tuition (which corresponds with units billed), room and board, student activity fees, campus health service fee, and Cardinal Care health insurance. Other charges may include, but are not limited to, cable TV, phone feature fees, miscellaneous items such as music lessons, room damage or room re-key charges, charges made via the StanfordCardPlan, or changes to charges posted previously. Charges and credits from University departments are aggregated in a student’s individual account and presented on the monthly bill. Posting of or adjustments to University charges to student accounts may occur at any time during the academic year. For more information, see the University Bill section of the Gateway to Financial Activities web site for students.

Due Dates

All term charges (tuition, health insurance, Campus Health Service fee, student activity (ASSU) fees, and a one-time document fee) are due the 15th of the month after the start of the quarter unless otherwise specified. All other charges are billed and due monthly. Monthly bills are generated on the 19th of each month. Notification to view the bill via Stanford ePay is sent to students and authorized payers on the 20th. When the 19th falls on a weekend or holiday, with the exception of December, bill generation and notification will occur on the next business day.
