Power of Attorney Forms
University staff, including Learning Abroad Center staff, cannot discuss your student account records or program details with anyone other than yourself, by federal law unless you have completed the appropriate documentation. If you plan to involve your parents, or another trusted individual, in any way with your student account while you are studying on a LAC program, you must file Power of Attorney (POA) paperwork with the Office of Student Finance and provide the Learning Abroad Center with a copy of the POA.

Authorized Payers for Billing
You may authorize your parent or another person to make payments to your University student account using the electronic billing and payment system (UM Pay). To do so, you must create a separate authorized payer login name and password within UM Pay Electronic Billing and Payment Services for Students. Note: this is not the same as completing the Power of Attorney document and thus does not grant staff the ability to discuss your student account with this individual.

Cancellation Information
Please note that you will be assessed a portion of the program fee if you cancel your LAC program at any time after you have made your confirmation deposit. Please refer to the Cancellation Policy.

If you have questions regarding your initializing student accounts, confidentiality requirements, cancellation, or other concerns, please visit the U of M OneStop web page.

Billing
Your Learning Abroad Center (LAC) program fees will be posted to your University of Minnesota student account. When bills are generated while you are on your study abroad program, you will receive an e-mail notice in your University of Minnesota-assigned e-mail account with a link to view online the total amount due and payment due date(s) in your student account.

Note: If your home institution will be paying any portion of your program fees, these are already reflected on your student account. You will see an amount credited by the LAC to your account, which will be the amount covered by your institution (either part or the entire amount owed).

If you are attending an academic or calendar year program, the amount billed to your student account is for the current semester portion of your bill only. The amount due reflects any previous payments (which includes deposits).

To view your student account online anytime and anywhere you have Internet access, go to One Stop. Click on the "Student Account" Quick Link on the right-hand of the page. Be prepared to enter the X.500 Internet user ID and password you chose when you initialized your University account. If you have not initialized your University account, do so immediately at "Manage your University of Minnesota Account" and follow the online directions.

Payment Options
You are strongly encouraged to pay your LAC program fees prior to your departure. If you have a balance due, payment is due in full by the first billing due date indicated on your email billing statement. No installment plan is available to non-University of Minnesota students. Your payment must be received, not postmarked (if sent by mail), by the first billing due date of a term to avoid cancellation of your study abroad registration. If you do not pay in full, your study abroad registration will be canceled and you will not receive a University of Minnesota transcript for your study abroad program.  This is a University of Minnesota policy and the Learning Abroad Center has no ability to grant exemptions.

You have the following payment options:

Payment Option 1: UM Pay

For ease and convenience you are encouraged to make your payments online at UM Pay, available from any Internet browser, anywhere in the world, 24 hours a day. As with all secured University Web sites, you are required to enter your University-assigned Internet user ID and password for access to this payment method. TC campus UM Pay information is available at UM Pay — Electronic Billing and Payment Services for Students.

Note: UM Pay is different from your U of M student account. Your student account reflects up-to-date charges and credits to your account, while UM Pay reflects your most current bill and is the site where you submit your payment to be credited to your student account. After you submit a payment to UM Pay, you may login to your student account to see that payment reflected.

Payment Option 2: U.S. Postal Service, campus drop box, or in person

For instructions, mailing addresses, or locations, go to "When, where and how to make timely payments."

 

If you have questions regarding the breakdown of fees, confidentiality requirements, billing and payments, cancellation, or other concerns, please e-mail the Learning Abroad Center.
