Account and payment information

Accessing your account

To access your U of I student account online, log into MyUI and select the "Accounts and Billing" card. From there, you can pay tuition, view account details, set permissions and manage your payment options securely.

Troubleshooting common account issues

• Do not use a mobile device or tablet, as the page typically does not display properly or at all.
• Using Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge as your web browser works the best. Other web browsers, including Safari and Firefox, will not work.
• Your pop-up blocker needs to be turned off in order for a new tab to open for the payment system.
• If you pressed the back button on your browser at any time, you will be taken to a screen asking for your login and password. This login will not work. You will need to log off MyUI and log back on or reboot your computer.
