Payment Options for Students Living Outside of the U.S.
Students will receive a notification in their MU student e-mail account regarding payment options and due dates each time a bill is prepared (around the 22nd of each month). This e-mail will include a link to the myZou system. See our "Guide to Using the myZou Payment Center."
The myZou Payment Center allows you to view your most recent billing statement as well as statements from previous months. You can make electronic payments by using MasterCard or Discover (fee applies) or electronic debit (no fee) if your bank has a U.S. branch. All payments must be made in U.S. funds.
If you are making a payment by check, the bank on which the check is written must have a U.S. branch. Also, you may send a traveler’s check to the Office of Cashiers, made payable to the University of Missouri. If you are sending a check for payment on a Student Account, be sure to mail it well before the monthly due date (usually the 15th of each month).
