WHAT DOES BURSAR MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Bursar

A bursar is a senior professional financial administrator in a school or university. In the United States, bursars usually exist only at the level of 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 of student tuition accounts. This responsibility involves sending bills and making payment plans; 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 also 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. Some Bursars also have responsibility for payroll, investments, facilities, IT, HR, Health and Safety and oversight of admin functions at an institution.
