Billing Statements and Documents
Freshmen and transfer students should have electronically submitted their Tuition Payment Agreement, FERPA, and Federal Title IV forms. If you have not done so, please complete them now at https://etcentral.mountunion.edu/#/form/72.
Billing statements for the spring semester were sent electronically in December. This balance was due January 3, 2021. Bills can be paid on the Student Account Online page Your student can access the Student Account Online page by visiting iRaider and then clicking Self-Service, Finance, Make a Payment.
Unless you are on a monthly payment plan, balances not paid by January 31, 2021 will be placed on HOLD and charged a 1% late fee each month. This means your student will not be able to register for spring semester or receive a transcript until the balance is paid.

|
Payment Plan Enrollment
Open enrollment for the spring 2021 payment plan will end January 31, 2021 for a three-month payment plan. (The four- and five-month plans have closed.)
The three-month payment plan will allow you to pay your remaining balance in three monthly installments without receiving a late fee or being placed on hold.

Student 1098-T forms are available for viewing/printing on the Heartland ECSI website.
A Calendar Year Statement (for tax purposes) is also available through the Student Account Online page on the Self -Service portal under the Finances Tab>Make a Payment (the same location as the monthly statements).

A New Year and New Opportunities
We can probably all agree that 2020 was one for the books. Unlike anything we’ve seen or experienced before, the year brought unimaginable challenges for our Mount Union community, and our students were no exception.
However, it was also a year during which our donor family shone! With an outpouring of support from alumni and friends alike, our students were able to continue their studies on campus this past fall in a safe and effective way. For all of this and more, we are truly grateful.
As we kick off the new year, we hope you will continue to keep the students of Mount Union top-of-mind. As you make resolutions for the months to come, will you consider supporting current and future Raiders with a gift to The Mount Union Fund today?
Let’s rally together and begin 2021 by providing opportunities that will prepare our students to become the leaders of tomorrow and to create meaningful change in our world.
