The e-Bill is a snapshot in time of how an individual student financial account appears on the day it is generated. E-Bills replaced paper bills in January 2007, and paper bills are no longer available. Students with account balances are notified monthly to review their LOCUS accounts at: www.luc.edu/locus where they also will find their e-Bills. E-Bills provide students and payers several key improvements over paper bills:

1. Faster turnaround: Soon after your e-Bill is generated, you will be notified by e-mail that it is available for viewing, giving you additional time to make payments because mailing and waiting time has been eliminated. As always, payment is due on the 5th of the following month.
   
   
2. Easy access: The Parent/Guest Access feature will allow you to give access to view your e-Bill to up to 9 other people. Parent/Guest Access will also allow those authorized to speak with Student Account Advisors in the Office of the Bursar about your account.
   
   
3. Greater efficiency: E-Bills will be stored on your account for up to three years, providing you with convenient records to review past bills and payment information. E-Billing also replaces costly postage, printing and personnel services.

Access Your e-Bill

1. Login to your LOCUS account at: www.luc.edu/locus.
2. Click on Finances.
3. Click on View e-Bill to view the Student e-Bill History page.
4. Click on View Detail next to any of the months listed to view that month's e-Bill.

Remember: Your e-Bill is a snapshot of your account on the day we generate the statement. Payments and other changes we have received since the last e-Bill will not show up until the next e-Bill is generated.  The Account Summary in LOCUS is the place to find the real-time status of your account.

Parent and Guest Access

Students can set up proxy access to their financial accounts for parents and other guests with the following steps:

1. Login to your LOCUS account at: www.luc.edu/locus.
2. Click on Personal Portfolio.
3. Click on Parent/Guest Access.
4. Click on Add Parent/Guest.
5. Click the 'I Accept' button on the consent form.
6. For each parent or guest, enter the person's last and first name, e-mail address and assign a password. (You may assign the same password to all those who receive proxy; or assign a different password for each.) The password is case-sensitive, must be 6 characters in length and include 2 digits. The university will assign each proxy with a Universal ID, which will be sent to each via the e-mail addresses you provided.
   *YOU are the only person who has the password(s) for those who have Parent/Guest Access, and you will need to communicate this information to them. Make certain you let them know when you have set them up with access and provide them with their password(s).
7. Check off all three of the boxes labeled Account Summary, e-Bill and Financial Aid.
8. Click Save.

Note that proxy access DOES NOT provide access to your grades, student judicial affairs, income or personal information.
