������̳’s official method for sending student account billing statements is electronic billing and Student Accounts has partnered with Nelnet Business Solutions to provide this service. The College does not mail billing statements.

In compliance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, (FERPA), commonly called the Buckley Amendment, student accounts and billing statements are in the student’s name. Students can add additional parties to their student account with Nelnet. Please refer to the Authorized Parties section for more information on this topic. Watch this short for more information on FERPA and how it pertains to your account with Nelnet.

Students are invoiced per semester and sent email notification to their campus email account when billing statements are available to view. Please see viewing your bill, located on the left menu, for detailed instructions for students and authorized parties.

Students have the option through Nelnet to add an authorized party to their student account. An authorized party will be able to view the student account, make payments on behalf of the student, or set up a monthly payment plan. An authorized party will also receive a billing statement each semester as well as a monthly billing statement if there is a balance due. Setting a person up as an authorized party also allows Student Accounts to discuss a student's account with that person. Please note this is only for matters related to the student account.

Only accepted and completed financial aid awards, including Bryn Mawr Scholarships, Federal Aid, State Aid, Outside Scholarships and any other sources of known aid are included on the student’s invoice, either as posted aid or as anticipated aid. Please note that work study and campus employment awards are not applied to the student bill.

A student’s registration constitutes an agreement to make timely payment of all amounts due. Signatures or acknowledgements provided by the student electronically to ������̳ via college systems are valid and legally binding. Additionally, by accepting ������̳'s offer of admission and enrolling in classes, each student accepts responsibility for payment of all tuition and fees, including room and board, for which the student is liable. Students who do not make payment will be placed on a financial hold. The College does not assess late fees at this time.

Students with an unpaid balance after the due date will have their account placed on hold. This hold prevents the release of transcripts until the balance is paid in full. The hold displays in Bionic on the Tasks tile. Transcript holds are released daily once payment is made. For questions or to appeal a transcript hold, please contact the office.

Students who do not resolve their balance during a term are prevented from registering for the next semester and from participating in room draw, if applicable. Email warnings are sent to students in advance of the hold being placed on the account. The hold will display on the Tasks tile in Bionic. Once a registration hold is on the account, receipt of funds must be confirmed before the hold will be lifted. This will take three business days for an electronic payment and ten business days for a paper check. Any expected financial aid funds must be disbursed to the student account. 

Students with an unpaid balance are prevented from participating in graduation ceremonies and picking up academic regalia. Email warnings are sent to students in advance of graduation. Diplomas will not be released until all balances are paid in full.

A $25 fee is assessed for a returned payment and charged to the student's account. This is in addition to any fees charged by the financial institution the payment was drawn on and any fees charged by Nelnet for processing. Please be sure funds are available when making payment by paper check or online and ensure account information is properly entered when paying online. If you are unsure of your routing or account number please check with your financial institution before making payment.
