Student Accounts
*Update on PA State Budget and Student Refunds
Due to delays in the passage of the Pennsylvania State Budget, the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency (PHEAA) has not yet released PA State Grant funds to eligible students.
As a result, Shippensburg University is temporarily unable to issue refunds tied to anticipated state grant disbursements. This delay affects colleges and universities across the Commonwealth.
We understand the challenges this may cause and appreciate your patience as the state works to finalize the budget. Once PHEAA releases the funds, Shippensburg University will promptly apply awards to student accounts and process refunds.*
The Student Accounts Office is responsible for the assessment and collection of student tuition and fees. We manage all university revenue, student payments and refunds, third party scholarships and billing, military billing and bad debt collections.
We can help you:
- Find important deadlines and instructions for paying your bill
- Understand the various fees on your bill
- Answer frequently asked questions about topics such as fees, paying your bill, financial aid, and payment plans.
Bills will be available online. Paper bills are not mailed. You will receive an email through your ship.edu email account when bills are ready to view online. Check your ship.edu email account regularly for important billing information updates.
Please include your student ID number on all payments, letters, emails, faxes and voicemail messages for the Student Accounts office.
