Reynolds, a Cleveland State alumna, served the Tennessee college as bursar. Sindy Reynolds Sindy Reynolds has been named vice president for finance and operations at Cleveland State Community College.
The office most colleges called the bursar was instead called the cashier. Students who were the first in the family to attend college had probably never even heard of a bursar before, but everyone knows what a cashier is. The folks in the bursar’s office put up a sign saying “credit cards not accepted.”
These students may also face financial impediments from their prior higher ed experience, such as student loan debt or lingering bursar holds. Thirty percent of surveyed adult learners who discontinued their education said they stopped out because of high costs.
For decades, colleges have consolidated many of their admissions and enrollment services functions under a single umbrella office—including, but not limited to, the bursar, the registrar, the cashier’s office and financial aid. Image: One-stop services are not new to higher education.
Ultimately, and according to emails Farina shared with Inside Higher Ed , a CUNY bursar intervened and allowed her to register with a balance above $500, so as not to miss the registration deadline. She made it by two days.
Did you know your bursar is a wellness office? But if a student is interacting well with the bursar's office, meaning they aren't paying the bills or they don't even know what a bursar is, and then that's gonna contribute to financial un-wellness in that regard. Probably haven't thought about it that way.
We're telling students they have to meet with the bursar and they're saying to themselves, "Who or what is the bursar and what do I need to see with them?" And that gets really hard because a lot of times we're building that communication in college jargon. So I see that and that certainly extends beyond the enrollment and recruitment.
I need the bursar, so I’ll go find the bursar. Going back to this idea of 20 th -century paradigms for education, it’s a very neoliberal model. If you need something, you go search it out. I need advising, so I’ll go find my advisor. That doesn’t work to the advantage of our students.

I did not know the bursar was not someone's last name until I was taught that the bursar is a role and not person. That is the bell curve of your almost entire student body. So thinking through that age, thinking through who we were as people, we likely, well, I'll use eye language.
Even simple things like naming your Cashier’s Office, the bursar’s office. I looked and we were literally standing in front of the cashier, but the sign read, “Bursar’s.” I’ll never forget the day I was walking around at Broward College, and a student was like, “I need to pay for my tuition. Where’s the cashier?”
“It’s requiring the financial aid folks to work with IT, the registrar and even the bursar to look at data across the institution and build a new unique data set that can help them comply with these reporting requirements.” “This work takes a village,” McTighe says.
