About your billing statement

When and where can I access my billing statement?

Billing statements are posted online at https://payonline.trinity.edu/tsa/web/login.jsp.  Fall semester statements are posted in July.    Spring semester statements are posted at the beginning of December.  Summer semester statements are posted the first week of    May.  Monthly statements are sent at the beginning of each month with the payment due upon receipt of bill. Invoice and statement notification are sent via each students Trinity email account.  Students have the option to register their parents or third parties as Authorized Payers on their account so that they can go online, view the students bills, and get e-mail notifications when new bills are ready  to be viewed.  Please click on the link above to authorize your user.


What do I do if I have not received my billing statement online?

Call (210) 999-7391 or 1-888-TRINITY to inquire about your account or to receive a copy of your billing statement, or stop by the Office of Student Accounts in Northrup Hall, Room 142, between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday.


How can I change my billing address?

The Office of Student Accounts does not initiate address changes.  If you have not already completed the "ADDRESS CHANGE FORM" through the Office of the Registrar, click on this link to download their form (www.trinity.edu/departments/registrar/FORMS/ADDCHANG.pdf).  Please turn in this form to the Office of the Registrar in Northrup Hall, room 140.  Change of address must be in writing.


Can the bills be sent to an alternate address?

We can send your billing statement to an alternate address if you authorize any and all users.  To authorize parents or other users, students should login to Trinity's E-Bill/E-Pay system at https://payonline.trinity.edu/tsa/web/login.jsp with the same user name and password used for Tiger's Lair access.  You may also access it from the Student Accounts web page at www.trinity.edu/departments/buso and then click on "Link to Pay-On-Line".  On the E-Bill/E-Pay welcome page, click the Authorized Users tab, and then click "Add an Authorized User" at the bottom of the screen.  Enter the email address of the person you wish to authorize, make your Options selections, and then click "Add User" at the bottom.  The next screen will display information about giving access to your student account.  If you agree to the terms, enter the last four digits of your Trinity ID number and click "I Agree".  The following screen will reflect your newly authorized user and allow you to add additional ones.  Your authorized user(s) will receive an email message telling them that you have completed this process.


Why isn't my scholarship listed on my billing statement?

If you have a grant or scholarship from an outside source, it will not appear on your statement unless you have submitted a letter from the source to the Office of Financial Aid.  If the funds will be paid directly to you and not to Trinity University, then it is your responsibility to be sure you receive the funds in time to pay your tuition bill.


 What is the student activity fee?

The student activity fee is used to support the activities of the Student Finance Board, subsidize intramural athletic activities and the operation of two swimming pools, and support the Association of Student Representatives, which is the student governance.  The Student Finance Board consists of students, faculty and administration that is responsible for distributing its share of the student activity fee in an equitable manner to organizations and/or programs that provide services to the student body.  Some of the organizations that receive student activity fee allocations are The Trinitonian (the university newspaper), Mirage (the university yearbook), the Trinity Activities Council, and the Trinity University Volunteer Action Council.


What types of information services can I get in my room?

Three mandatory services are available to students residing on campus.  These are telephone service, cable service, and computer data connection.  For more information, contact the Office of Residential Life at (210) 999-7219.


Do I have to choose a meal plan?

All students who live in the Residence Halls must select one of the three meal plans at the start of each semester,  These are the Light Meal Plan (equates to an estimated $13.24 per day, based on the number of operating days in the semester), the Average Meal Plan (equates to an estimated $14.66 per day, based on the number of operating days in the semester), and the Hearty Meal Plan (equates to an estimated $16.97 per day, based on the number of operating day in the semester).  Meal plans do not carry over from one semester to the next, and they are non-refundable.  These meal plans can be changed only during the Fall or Spring Add/Drop period.


What other items will I see on my semester billing statement?

Besides tuition, room and the meal plan, an optional charge for the Tuition Refund Plan will appear on the fall billing statement.  The required tuition deposit and the room deposit if any, will be deducted on the fall billing statement.  Financial aid awards and any previous balances or credits will appear on your billing statement.  On the fall billing statement you will have the opportunity to purchase a parking permit, the Mirage yearbook, and a subscription to have the Trinitonian newspaper mailed to your home (the Trinitonian is available on campus at no charge, and the subscription is for the cost of mailing).  Charges for telephone service, cable television, and computer data connection will appear on your bill each semester.  A non-resident student may purchase Tiger Bucks on the semester billing statement.  You have the option of prepaying into a debit account (Tiger Bucks) for the Trinity University Bookstore and other on campus services.

              What should I do if I have been billed for the Student Health Insurance Plan and I don't want this coverage?

 

The premium for the Student Health Insurance Policy is included in your bill because the student has enrolled in the plan or the student has not provided proof of personal health insurance as required.  If you want to cancel this insurance you must send proof of personal health insurance to: Trinity University Health Services, One Trinity Place #80, San Antonio, TX  78212, along with a written request to cancel the insurance before August 10, 2009.  After this date the insurance is in effect and can not be cancelled except as specified in the policy.  You may get more information about this university requirement at the Health Services web site or contact Health Services at (210) 999-8111.
