General Information

Union College's Self Service is the official billing platform for the College. Billing and payment information is updated daily, and financial aid, miscellaneous charges and student health insurance waivers are updated weekly. Students and authorized users are able to view, print and make account payments all from one site.

All students are asked to set up authorized Users (Proxies) for Self Service. Students should access Self Service.  Follow the instructions below to set up proxy access.

This process is extremely important as billing is done entirely online. Under FERPA regulations, the Bursar’s Office cannot discuss a student account with anyone who has not been granted proxy access. Additional information about Self Service can be found on our website at www.union.edu/bursar.
