MANAGE YOUR AID

Billing & Payments

Your student portal in the Student Information System (SIS) is where you can see your student account, make payments and manage aid. The Office of Financial Aid does not handle billing and payments, but we can answer questions related to the aid you see displayed in the student account section of your student portal. For information about accepting loans in SIS, go here.
