Please visit our Student Account Center (accessed through the billing tab in myWagner) in order to set up a monthly payment plan or to make a one-time payment to your student account.
Other than the initial invoice for incoming students, paper invoices are no longer mailed at the beginning of each semester. Students now have live online access to their student account via our Student Account Center (accessed through the billing tab in myWagner). We will notify students via email when charges for a new semester have been posted to student accounts. We also produce e-bills that can be accessed in the “statements” tab in Student Account Center, and these statements are mostly useful for printing the activity from a particular semester. Be sure to check your e-mail regularly for this and other important communication from the college.
Students can easily grant access to a parent (or other tuition payer) by clicking on “My Profile” and then “Mange Payers” in Student Account Center on the right side. Parents/Authorized users (once they are granted access by the student) can access Student Account Center here.
