Office of Student Accounts

The Cairn University Student Accounts team provides support and counsel to students as they make tuition payments and manage payment plans. The Student Accounts team is accessible in-person, by email, or by phone.

Our team wants you to understand and feel confident in your ability to manage tuition payments. Give us a call or schedule an appointment to review your student account. 

IMPORTANT REMINDER: Financial aid applications must be completed and approved through the Financial Aid Office before Business Services is able to disburse the funds and credit your student account. Please note that student account information is shared with students only, unless a signed FERPA waiver is on file with the Registrar’s Office. Any family intending to take care of their student’s University bill should make sure the FERPA waiver is signed and submitted by their student.
