Student Billing & Cash Disbursements Overview

HLS Student Financial Services works closely with Harvard University’s centrally administered Student Receivables Office (SRO) regarding billing matters, e-bill presentation and e-payments. The central SRO posts charges and credits, generates monthly e-bills, and collects e-payments. HLS Student Financial Services works proactively to help JD students meet their financial obligations in order to remain eligible for pre-registration, registration, and graduation. 

HLS Student Financial Services is also responsible for sending anticipated financial aid to the student bill, and for issuing cash advances on anticipated financial aid credits and refund of actual credits whether or not a student is on financial aid.
