Features
E-billing is convenient, easy to use, and secure! With e-billing you are notified by e-mail when your bill is ready to view, and you have the ability to view a billing history of up to 12 months. What's more, you can assign access privileges to a guest so that they can view your e-bill and Account Summary by Term, and even pay your聽bills! e-billing is also paper free, bringing McGill one step closer to our sustainability goals!
Accessing your e-Bill
You will be notified through your official McGill email address that your monthly e-bill is ready to be viewed on Minerva. Under the Student Accounts Menu, go to the e-Billing and e-Payment Menu聽to view the monthly billing statement. Your e-bill can be downloaded or printed as a PDF file by logging into Minerva with your McGill ID and PIN, or by signing on to聽myMcGill. You are responsible for checking your McGill email account for the notification that your e-bill is available. E-bills are typically issued within the first 5 days of every month and are typically due 23-25 days later. To keep all data secure and confidential, don't share your passwords with anyone and make sure to logout or close your browser when you're finished reviewing your e-bill.
Failure to check email on a regular basis will in no way constitute grounds for the reversal of interest charges and/or late payment fees should the bill not be paid.

What is the difference between my e-bill and the Account Summary by Term?
The e-bill is produced at a certain point in time and represents a 鈥渟napshot鈥� of your account at that moment. All charges which have not been previously billed appear as current charges. Charges that were previously billed, and still unpaid as of the statement date, are displayed at the top of the bill as one amount.
Your account summary by term shows the individual charges by date and is accurate as of the moment you are accessing the information. Interest will only accrue on items that have appeared on a bill (e-bill or paper bill). Therefore if there are charges that appear on your account summary by term with a date following the last bill date, they will not be part of the balance on which the interest is calculated.
Can my parents or someone else I designate have access to my billing information?
Yes. See Guest Access for more information.
Can I revoke guest access privileges when I want?
Yes, you can revoke access to any or all of the privileges when you wish by going to the 鈥淐hange Access Privileges for your Guest鈥� menu.
Will my guest be notified when a new e-bill is ready?
Yes, they will be cc鈥檇 on the email that you receive when a new e-bill is ready to view on Minerva, if you have granted access to the View e-bills/Account Summary by Term privilege.
What is the difference between the Student Third Party Billing email address and being a guest?
The student third party billing email address is used to send a copy of the email notification about e-bills being ready to any third party you have designated. It does not give them access to Minerva. By giving privileges to a guest, you enable that guest to access Minerva with their own login credentials and access only the parts of your financial record you have authorized.
Do I have to communicate with my guest about the secret word that I have selected?
No, the University will send both you and your guest an email identifying the secret word, just in case you forget.
