BAR Accounts and Charges


Business and Finance 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 Accounting and Cash Management, 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 UC Student Health Insurance Plan

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

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

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