"A bursar (derived from \"bursa\", Latin for purse) is a professional financial administrator in a school or university. In the United States, bursars usually exist only at the level of higher education (4-year colleges and universities) or at private secondary schools. 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."@en . .
