Payment Information

Students can check their course schedule and bill by going to http://myZou.missouri.edu.
Note: Payment must be made by the monthly due date indicated on the billing statement or you could lose access to your online course.

Option #1 - check

Mail check to
Office of Cashiers
15 Jesse Hall
University of Missouri
Columbia, MO 65211

This payment must be received in the Office of Cashiers prior to the monthly payment due date to avoid late payment fees. Interest charges will accrue on any unpaid balance.

Option #2 - Online Payment - myZou

Access online payment options at http://myZou.missouri.edu

Students may pay their fees through a debit of their checking or savings account. Students will need their PawPrint/User ID and password to use this website.

Students and authorized users may also select to pay by credit card (Discover or Mastercard only) from the myZou website. This method will include a 2.75% service charge fee which will be added to the bill.

Third party payment - myZou

Students may use myZou to set up a third-party payer (such as a school district) as an authorized user on their student account. The payer can make a debit payment using the same online option described above.

Invoice - If a third party payment is indicated on the student’s enrollment form, the payer will receive an invoice from the Cashiers Office and may be charged an additional Mandatory Sponsor Fee of $150.00 per semester. (This fee is charged once per semester per payer. It is not charged per student.) An official letter of authorization is required to be on file in the Office of Cashiers to initiate this process. Payment of all fees remains the responsibility of the student.

Third Party Payer may avoid the Mandatory Sponsor Fee by taking advantage of the online options above. Or, a student may provide their monthly billing statement to their third party payer as documentation and the payer may issue a check directly to the University to pay the fees.

Fee Reimbursement - Some third party payers require students to pay their fees and be reimbursed after the course is completed and grades have been assigned. These details are established between the payer and the student. Timely payment of all fees remains the responsibility of the student.

Moodle information

Students will receive information from their graduate course facilitator about accessing and using the eMINTS Moodle space. Graduate credit courses will be presented in Moodle (http://campus.emints.org) rather than in Blackboard, effective fall 2008.

Dropping a course

Students who want to drop a course should make a request through the MU Direct website - http://mudirect.missouri.edu.
Options include: online submission, fax, mail or e-mail.

A student who drops a course or withdraws from the University of Missouri-Columbia after the course begins is still responsible for the payment of course fees.

Masters in Educational Technology

eMINTS credit and seven additional classes will result in a Masters degree focusing on Technology in Schools from the University of Missouri-Columbia (MU). This MA is possible through a cooperative agreement between the eMINTS program and the MU School of Information Science and Learning Technologies (MU-SISLT)
