 Subject: MASSMAIL - Credit Card Convenience Fee Increase

Effective February 1, 2009, the University of Illinois is increasing its 
credit card convenience fee from 2.0% to 2.4%. This increase is entirely 
due to higher fees being assessed by the card brands that are accepted 
for tuition and fees.  The rate charged by the University solely reflects 
the fees incurred for processing these transactions, no additional 
revenue is generated. If in the future, credit card company rates 
decline, the convenience fee will be reduced. The Office of Business and 
Financial Services will monitor the rate charged on a regular basis.  As 
always, we encourage students and parents to consider the free e-check 
option for tuition bill payment.
Inquiries specifically about the increasing convenience fee should be 
directed to Merchant Card Services, Office of Business and Financial 
Services at  merchantcardhelp@uillinois.edu or  217-244-9384.  If you 
have questions regarding your student account or University billing 
statement, please contact USFSCO Customer Service at 
usfscohelp@uillinois.edu or 217-333-2180.This mailing approved by:
