Activate Your MyLIU Account

Go to my.liu.edu and click the “Activate My Account” button at the top right of the screen.

You will need:

social security number or student ID number
date of birth
displayed security code

Students only need to activate their MyLIU account once.

Make a Tuition Deposit

In order to secure your seat at LIU and enroll for classes, first you must submit your Tuition Deposit.

Log in to your My LIU account.
Click "Make an E-Payment" to access the Payment Gateway.
Select the “eDeposit” item from the top menu bar.
Select the term you are making a Tuition Deposit for (e.g., Fall 2016) and then select the “LIU Tuition E-Deposit” item below. The Tuition Deposit amount will appear with the term below. Click “Continue” to make a check or credit card payment online.
To process your Tuition Deposit, select your payment method. LIU accepts electronic checks and all major
credit cards.
To finalize your online payment via electronic check or credit card, review the transaction details and click
“Submit Payment” to process the transaction.

Once your online Tuition Deposit is processed, the Admissions Office will finalize your record and you will be able to register for classes within 24-48 hours; you will receive confirmation in your MyLIU email account once this step is complete. Go to the Center for Student Information at csi.liu.edu for detailed instructions on using our Self Service features. Once complete, you can use many of the Self Service features available in your MyLIU account, including the ability to register for classes, view account activity, accept/decline financial aid, and pay your tuition bill online.
