Setting Up an E-Billing Account
The Student Accounts Office has now gone green with billing, so invoices will no longer be mailed. Please follow these steps to set up an account with our partner Nelnet Business Solutions, to view your real time account balance, view your e-bill, make a payment, or set up a payment plan.
Please note: Students must first access their Student Center through the PeopleSoft portal to set up their account and set up additional authorized parties.
Each time that an e-bill is produced, Nelnet Campus Commerce will e-mail students and authorized parties registered within the Nelnet system to notify them that a bill is ready to be viewed.
To set up the account in the Student Center:
-
Log in at https://hwsportal.hws.edu
-
Click on Campus Solutions
-
On the menu, go to Main Menu > Self Service > Student Center
-
Under the Finances Section, click View Bill and Payment Options
Note: you may need to enable the Nelnet site in your pop-up blocker to progress to the next step. For instructions on enabling pop-ups in various browsers, visit Bill Pay Troubleshooting -
