BAR Accounts and Charges
Student Financial Services creates a BAR (Billing Accounts Receivable) account for every UCLA student. A BAR account records all charges and payments (excluding housing) associated with registration along with other service charges that are assessed to students. Monthly e-mail reminders (“eBills”) are sent to students who have a BAR balance. The eBill is sent to a student’s email account on file on URSA. Paper bills and statements are issued only upon request. To request a paper statement, students must go in person to the Student Accounting Office, 1121 Murphy Hall.

Students must pay all charges in full by the 20th of each month or the preceding workday if the 20th falls on a weekend or holiday. After the payment deadline, students are assessed a $20 delinquent fee. If registration fees are not paid in full by the payment deadline, a $50 late registration fee is assessed and classes are dropped.

Failure to settle financial obligations with the University may result in a hold being placed on the student’s record. Such a hold could affect registration, enrollment, financial aid, campus services, and release of academic transcripts.

Mandatory Graduate Student Health Insurance Plan
Insurance is a condition of registration at the University of California. The cost of the Graduate Student Health Insurance Plan (GSHIP) is billed along with other UCLA fees each academic term.

Students may waive out of GSHIP if they (1) maintain active enrollment in an adequate medical/health insurance plan that meets all established requirements, (2) apply for a GSHIP waiver within established deadlines (August 20 for Law Students), and (3) correctly complete the online GSHIP waiver form.

See the Ashe Center website for details, including a definition of qualifying adequate private medical/health insurance.

Methods of Payment
Online, through URSA: Students can pay their BAR account on URSA using Visa, MasterCard, or Discover Card.

By Mail: Students can print out a remittance document from the Student Financial Services webpage and mail in payments with a check or money order.

In-Person: Students may make cash, check, and debit-card payments in person at the Administrative Main Cashier Office located at 1125 Murphy Hall (310-825-2201, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays).
