Summer Classes

Summer school is right around the corner. Students that plan on attending summer semester are encouraged to register for classes as soon as possible. The first summer invoice was sent to students on April 1, 2021.  Summer tuition is due in full on May 3, 2021. For students who are financial aid recipients, please make sure you have all your required financial aid documentation in by the May 3, 2021 deadline. We encourage students to always check their Banner Self-Serve account for any changes to their balance due.

Online Payments

In other news from the Office of Student Accounts, our old Tuition Management System (TMS) will be fully integrated to the Nelnet Enterprise System by mid-April 2021. Nelnet is the third-party the University has selected to partner with to provide students and their families the opportunity to utilize monthly payment plans and e-payments. There have been enhancements made regarding enrolling in our monthly payment plans and making a one-time payment. There are two ways students can access the new process.

1. Students can start by logging onto PilotsUP

  • Navigate to the Banner Self-Serve
  • Select Student Account Tab
  • Choose Account Summary (to look up the account balance)
  • Click the Pay Now button

2. Students can also begin by visiting the landing page mycollegepaymentplan.com/uportland.  

Students may authorize others to access their agreement and make payments on their behalf. The student will need to set the authorized user up before they can establish an account via mycollegepaymentplan.com/uportland in order to set-up a payment plan or make a one-time payment. Please note that an Authorized Payer for the Nelnet Enterprise System is different than the Parent Proxy Access required by FERPA regarding sharing information with anyone other than the student.
