Understanding your billing statement
You can download this sample billing statement. (PDF) It has highlights explaining the various portions of your bill.
For currently enrolled students and active VT faculty and staff, the statement is generated electronically and stored on our e-billing and payment system. No paper bill is sent to students, faculty and staff!
An email is sent to the VT email address (the vt.edu address) notifying customers and their authorized payers that a bill has been generated and is ready for viewing. Within the e-billing system, users can view their current account statement and statement history, as well as view and print a pdf version of these statements.
If you are expecting a statement but have not received an email stating one has been generated for you, check any email filtering software that your email provider may use to see if it is being blocked. In order to ensure that you receive important information about your student account it is recommended that you add e-bill@vt.edu and bursar@vt.edu to your contact list or allowed sender list, as appropriate for the mail system or client you are using. For information on how to control email messages being blocked by the Virginia Tech Junk Mail Manager, see http://computing.vt.edu/email_and_calendaring/jmm.html.
An electronic payment can be made by e-check or credit card or payment by paper check can be mailed along with the bottom portion of the pdf version of the statement. More important information about our e-billing and payment system can be found on our Viewing and Paying Bills Online page .
Customers other than students, faculty and staff will receive paper statements from Virginia Tech.
