The *Tuition Payment Agreement is an agreement between the student and the University regarding payment of tuition, room and board charges, fees, and expenses, if applicable. All students, upon enrollment, are subject to the conditions of this agreement. This form needs to be signed and submitted by each student regardless of whether you will be receiving federal aid, obtaining private loans, or paying in full.

The *Federal Title IV Authorization needs to be signed to allow us to credit your account with federal aid and pay for miscellaneous charges. It also allows us to hold excess funds on your account to pay expected future charges.

The Form 1098-T is provided to assist with filing for the education tax benefits/tax credit deductions, such as the Lifetime Learning Tax Credit and Hope Scholarship Tax Credit.

Your form is available no later than January 31. To receive your 1098-T quicker you can elect to receive it electronically. The benefits of receiving electronically are:

• Provides access to the form 1098-T earlier than the traditional mailing process.
• Online access eliminates the chance that the 1098-T will get lost, misdirected, or delayed during delivery, or misplaced once the student receives it.
• Signing up for the online access is easy and secure.
• Students can access their 1098-T form while traveling or away from the home address.

If electronic consent is not received by January 15, 2024, the 1098-T will be mailed to the current address on file. Please verify that your name and address are also correct so that tax reporting will be accurate. To access your 1098-T, click on the Tax Information tile in your Self-Service Portal and click “consent” to receive electronically.

The University of Mount Union is unable to provide you with individual tax advice, but should you have questions, you should seek the counsel of an informed tax preparer or advisor.

A drop-down menu will appear. Click on “Required Agreements” and click on the mange button to complete both the Tuition Payment Agreement and Federal Title IV Authorization. Click on “View/Add Proxy Access” to complete the Proxy authorization.

Students can obtain access to their billing account information through Colleague Self-Service. Use your network username and password to log in.

If someone is helping you pay your bill, you can provide them with access to your billing account through your Colleague Self-Service account. Click on “Student Finances” and select “Pay Your Tuition,” then go to "My Profile Setup" and click on "Authorized Users." There you can add an authorized user to have access.

If your student uses the authorized user tab, all authorized users will receive two emails with the subject line “Your access information” that will provide a username and password. The user will then be able to access the Touchnet Parent Bill Payment Center to make a payment or sign up for a monthly payment plan. This access is independent of your student’s account. The authorized user will NOT have access to financial aid, grades, or other online student information, but:

• Authorized users will be able to enter their own email address and password.
• Authorized users should list this site under their favorites for easy access to their student’s account.
• The bank account information and payment methods are hidden from any other users including your student.
• The authorized user will be able to see the current balance on the student’s account, make payments, save payment methods, and enroll in the monthly payment plan.
• The authorized user enrolled in the payment plan will receive related emails regarding the payment reminders and revisions.

• The initial fall billing will be available mid-June with a due date of July 31.
• The initial spring billing will be available the first week of December.

Late fees are assessed monthly and a hold will be placed on your account if payment has not been received by the due date. Your billing balance can be viewed by clicking on “Student Finances” and then “Pay Your Tuition Bill” on Colleague Self-Service for your review.

View or produce a statement by going to Colleague Self Service. Click on "Student Finances" and the semester you wish to view. You then can click on the “view statement” box. All the payment options are available, including sending checks to us through the mail, payment plan options, paying by credit card, and electronic payments through a checking or savings account.

It is the responsibility of the student to monitor this email account for important information from the University including billing notifications. It is also the student’s responsibility to ensure their amount due is paid on time. The electronic statement can also be printed by students for authorized payers who may not have access to email.

When paying for a semester in full, payments are due July 31 for the fall semester and December 31 for the spring semester.

Pay Here

This can be done through studentaid.gov or via a private/alternative loan through a bank of your choice. Visit Mount Union’s Financial Aid Portal for a listing of private lenders. Please note that loans are not credited to the student account until the funds are actually received by the University. The lender’s processing fees are deducted from your DL Loans prior to disbursement to your account.
