The Bursar’s Office is responsible for billing and collection of the university’s day-to-day charges. These charges include student tuition fees, technology fees, student activity fees, insurance fees, and so on. The Bursar’s Office acts as the institution’s treasurer and helps the institute manage its domestic and internal fees. The office’s ultimate aim is to ensure that all the student accounts are “paid off.” They send reminders to the at-risk students to clear their dues in time.
