<p>:) Welcome to "The Hows and Whens of Paying your Tuition Bill (for Dummies)".
Kidding. I posted this in another thread, but just thought I'd repost it so it's easier to see.</p>

<p>How to pay your tuition bill:
<a href="1">b</a>** <a href="https://www-act.ucsd.edu/studentEBill/StudentBilling%5B/url%5D"&gt;https://www-act.ucsd.edu/studentEBill/StudentBilling&lt;/a>
<a href="2">b</a>** Click on View or Pay Bill, and log-in with your PID/PAC.
<a href="3">b</a>** Scroll down to PAYMENT OPTIONS WITH "E-check"<a href="%22E-check%22%20is%20just%20a%20picture%20of%20an%20E%20with%20a%20check%20mark%20going%20through%20it">/b</a>
<a href="4">b</a> You can choose to pay your last statement or your current balance.<br>
As for now, your last statement and your current balance should be the same because the September bill came not too long ago.
<a href="5">b</a>** Once you click on Pay Current Balance, you will be taken to a pop-up window about e-check payments.
For this, be sure you have your (1) Bank Number, (2) Routing Number, and (3) your name and billing address. ;)<br>
All this information is available on a check so you can just rip one off your parents' (or your) checkbook.
<a href="6">b</a>** Enter in the appropriate information, with the appropriate amount of money, and happy birthday, you just bled a few thousand dollars from your bank.</p>

<ul>
<li>There is also a Direct Deposit method of payment, but being that I haven't tried that yet... Information not available. ;o</li>
</ul>

<p>To have your parents pay your bills for you, you can just authorize them as a payer and woohoo, education bills taken care of. Not. It's actually pretty easy but... "For Dummies", so here it goes...</p>

<p>Authorizing a parent/payer:<a href="1">/b</a> <a href="https://www-act.ucsd.edu/studentEBill/StudentBilling%5B/url%5D"&gt;https://www-act.ucsd.edu/studentEBill/StudentBilling&lt;/a>
(2) Click on **Authorize a parent/payer and log-in.
(3) Fill in a parent's name<a href="first%20and%20last">/b</a> and **email address and click Save.
(4) Ask your parent to check his/her email address. Once you receive the email UCSD sends, click on the link to create an username and password.<br>
If you have trouble with creating the username/pw, try logging out of your (student) account and re-clicking on the link. If it still doesn't work, try changing browsers. It didn't work too well on my Firefox.</p>

<p>That's it. Once the parent is authorized, he/she will just need to go to the same URL (<a href="https://www-act.ucsd.edu/studentEBill/StudentBilling%5B/url%5D"&gt;https://www-act.ucsd.edu/studentEBill/StudentBilling&lt;/a&gt;) and click on Authorized Parent/Payer Menu, or he/she can have the following page bookmarked: <a href="https://www-act.ucsd.edu/studentEBill/PayerBilling%5B/url%5D"&gt;https://www-act.ucsd.edu/studentEBill/PayerBilling&lt;/a>. From there on out, paying should be the same procedure.</p>

<p>The end.</p>

<p>neat! i am going to bookmark this wonderful website!</p>

<p>You may not make an E-Check payment at this time because your current balance is $0.00.</p>

5

<p>:) Your bill is all paid off (for this quarter).</p>

<p>Don't forget to mention that you can't make partial payments via E-Check. E-Check makes you pay the full amount plus an extra $.50 fee charge. You can only make partial payments by sending them a check or going directly to the Cashier's Office and pay there.</p>
