Tiffin University cannot advise on how you should use the form.
When is my bill available?
Bills are updated on a monthly basis and are only provided in an electronic format. Updated statements are posted to a students online account during the first business week of every month. 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?
Please review how to add a parent or third party to view or pay a bill under the payment options page.
What is a Financial Hold?
If your student account is past due and you owe more than $500 in the fall semester, and/or you owe more than $200 in the spring semester a financial hold will be placed on your account. This means that you are denied certain University services such as registering for classes, and getting your diploma. Once you pay the balance, then your financial hold will be removed.
Why is financial aid not on my account?
You will need to contact the Office of Financial Aid in regards to aid not being applied to your student account. The first step in the financial aid process is making sure you have completed your FAFSA at fafsa.gov. Next, login at finaid.tiffin.edu to insure all of your aid is accepted or declined (not pending) under the Accept Awards option. Finally, under “required Documents” make sure all documents are received. If you still have questions contact the Financial Aid Office at 419.448.3279 or finaid@tiffin.edu.
Are tuition and fee waivers reflected on the bill?
Tuition and fee waivers should be reflected on your statement in the form of a line item notation. You will continue to receive a statement. If your waiver is not showing, you will need to contact the Office of Student Accounts.
If my bill shows a zero (0.00) “amount due”, do I need to do anything?
You do not need to do anything if your bill shows a zero balance.
What if I don’t want my refund?
If you do not want the credit on your account to be released to you, contact the Office of Financial Aid either by phone at 419.448.3279 or by sending an email to finaid@tiffin.edu.
How do I update my address?
You can update your address through the Self Service Portal or by emailing records@tiffin.edu.
