When is my bill available?

A notice regarding a new statement will be sent to the Tiffin University provided email account. It is the students' responsibility to check their email as well as their statement for any changes that occurred from the previous month.
My parents pay the bill, can they view my bill?
Students must grant their parents access to the billing portal by logging onto the Self-Service website and assigning their parents a PIN under the "Finances" tab.
