Bursar

Pro Tip 1/3

School Administration

Bursar roles are administrative, they don't teach or interact with students often.

The bursar will process your scholarship funds, but you can't consult them about course issues.

Pro Tip 2/3

Financial Jargon

In conversations with a bursar, expect financial terms like 'tuition', 'fees', and 'budgets'.

You must discuss your tuition payment plan with the bursar before the semester starts.

Pro Tip 3/3

Not an Accountant

While they deal with money, a bursar isn't the same as an accountant or auditor.

Although the bursar oversees financial matters, accounting details should go to the accounts department.
