"Try out as many student clubs as possible in your first few weeks. In my first semester I joined around a dozen different clubs, and while I definitely don't recommend committing to that many, it's good to get a feel for how you interact with different groups of students."

-Abby Q.

The first tuition bill is due on Monday, January 6. Students and their proxies can view an itemized bill, mandatory fees, and financial aid in EagleService. Learn how to access billing by clicking the button below.

Proxies and FERPA
Students can add proxies to their student account. Adding a proxy provides family members access to view/pay bills and access the student's educational record under Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). Learn more about FERPA here.

Encourage your student to upload a photo today, and they will be able to pick up their card when they arrive on campus in January. Quick and easy!
