Bursar
A bursar (derived from “bursa”, Latin for purse) is a senior professional financial administrator in a school or university. In the U.S., bursars usually only serve in higher education. In Australia, Great Britain and other countries, bursars are common at lower levels of education.
The Office of the Bursar is responsible for billing student tuition accounts. This responsibility involves sending invoices and developing payment plans for students. The ultimate goal is to bring all student accounts to a “paid off” status. Bursars are not necessarily involved in the financial aid process.
Bursars’ duties vary from one institution to another. At many institutions, bursars deal only with student finances. At other institutions, bursars also deal with some faculty finance issues. Elsewhere, they oversee accounts receivable or the payments that the university receives from outside organizations for which it performs services. In some institutions, all money held by the institution is the bursar’s responsibility.
