Contact LSSU

Lake Superior State University sends all billing statements electronically.  Fall tuition bills will be emailed to students’ official LSSU email accounts beginning July 11. Students can also view their current account balance at any time through the Bill & Payment Suite. Please contact the Business Office at [email protected] if you need assistance navigating to the Bill & Payment Suite.

Fall 2025 tuition is due by August 11, 2025. A 4-month installment payment plan for the Fall semester will be available starting in July and can be set up through the Bill & Payment Suite. Please note that late fees will be applied to the total account balance if payment is not received by the due date.

If you cannot pay all at once or are still finalizing your financial aid, we offer a payment plan option. To sign up for the payment plan, log in to Anchor Access, navigate to “Tuition & Billing”, and select the Bill & Payment Suite. Select the Payment Plan option from the menu and follow the prompts. There are four payments each semester.

Financial aid cannot be used for payment until it is finalized and listed on your bill as being available for payment. If you do not see your financial aid on your e-bill, please check Anchor Access to see if you have any requirements that are not satisfied.

If you register for classes after the initial due date for each term, you will be assessed a late registration fee of $100 and payment is due when you register. If you register after the due date, payment is due at the time of registration unless you have made other arrangements with the Business Office.

If you have not paid or signed up for the payment plan by the due date, you will receive an e-mail notification that your courses are subject to cancellation. If you do not respond to the notification by the dates indicated your courses may be cancelled. This process is not considered an official withdrawal from the University and you may still be responsible for charges if you do not officially withdraw. Please see the withdrawal policies at the Withdrawal Policy.

Students must add the person as an “Authorized User” in the Bill & Payment Suite in order for the Business Office to speak with any person other than the student regarding the financial status of their student account. Authorized Users will receive email notifications whenever new eBills are posted and may also contact the Business Office directly for information over the phone. Authorized Users have their own usernames and passwords to the Bill & Payment Suite and will not be able to view anything other than billing information; academic information such as grades and transcripts is not viewable.

Please follow the link to access the Bill & Payment Suite for Authorized Users.

If you have excess financial aid, the first $600 will be refunded the Friday prior to the start of class so that you may purchase books and supplies. The remaining excess aid is refunded beginning 14 days after courses begin. You may set up direct deposit for the refund of your excess aid by adding the account to your payment profile in the Bill & Payment Suite and selecting it to be used for refunds. (NOTE: This direct deposit account is only for refunds from your student account and does not apply to payroll checks).

If you do not have direct deposit, a check will be mailed to the most current local address on file. Housing students will receive checks via their campus mailboxes.

Each student is assigned an Anchor Access account upon admission to LSSU. You can log in to Anchor Access with your username and password. In Anchor Access you will be able to view your account information along with various other features.

To view your account information, select the Student tab from the top, and select Tuition and Billing from the list. Select the Bill & Payment Suite. For information on using the Bill and Payment Suite please contact the Business Office at [email protected].

Checks may be cashed at the Cashier Counter in the Fletcher Center; personal checks and LSSU payroll checks may be cashed up to a maximum of $300.

We recommend signing up for direct deposit to ensure the fastest possible refund. If you do not have direct deposit your refund will be processed as a check and will be mailed to the active address on file.

You can register for your parking permit online through Anchor Access. To do so, go to the Student tab and select the Parking card.
