Innovations to the Student Billing Process
The Business Office has implemented
e-Billing. The billing statements are now sent via email to the student’s email
address in lieu of sending bills by mail, and payment is allowed and encouraged to
be made on-line. This allows the student faster response time, and allows
students more time for other important details than paying in person at the Business Office.
