IN THIS ISSUE:
Loyola Launches Electronic Billing
The university is launching a new electronic billing (e-bill) service that will replace the current paper bills mailed monthly to students with account balances. Starting in January 2007, the university will use only e-billing; paper bills will no longer be available. Already, some 5,000 students have been introduced to e-billing.
The e-bill is a snapshot in time of how an individual student financial account appears on the day it is generated. 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:
Faster turnaround: Within minutes after your 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.
Easier access: The proxy access feature will allow you to give access to view your e-bill to up to 9 other people. Proxy access will also allow those whom you have authorized to speak with Student Account Advisors in the Office of the Bursar about your account.
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.
For more information about e-billing, including how to set up proxy access to financial accounts, visit: http://www.luc.edu/bursar/ebilling.shtml; call the Office of the Bursar: 773.508.7705; or e-mail: bursar@luc.edu.
