Instructions for using the Select Student tab (for Authorized Users)

If you are an authorized user for more than one student at Saint John’s University, there is a Select Student tab that you will find useful. The Select Student tab allows you to choose which student’s account or billing statement you would like to see at this time by simply selecting the name you want. If you have a student that attends Saint John’s University and one that attends the College of Saint Benedict, you will not be able to view both of your students under the Select Student tab. You will need to login separately for each of the students due to different websites.

The website for a Saint John’s authorized user is: https://secure.touchnet.com/C20178_tsa/web/login.jsp

The website for a Saint Ben’s authorized user is: https://secure.touchnet.com/C20052_tsa/web/login.jsp

If you are an authorized user for more than one student at Saint John’s University, but do not see both of their accounts in the Select Student tab, make sure that both students have set you up as an Authorized User for their account or you will not have access to both. Only the student can set up their Authorized Users.
If you are planning to be an authorized user for only students at Saint John’s or the College of Saint Benedict, you will only need to go through the process of setting up your Authorized User account once. However, if you are an authorized user for both a student at Saint John’s University and a student at the College of Saint Benedict, you will need to go through the process of setting up your Authorized User account twice, once at each respective site.
At the bottom of this screen you will see a Pay All button. The Pay All functionality is not available at this time.

Instructions on viewing account activity from a specific term using the Home tab

Under the Home tab, you will find a Quick View box open by default to Current Account Status.

From this you can choose to see activity since the last billing statement or activity from the past.

To view your eBill from the Home tab:

In the Quick View box, click on the eBill tab.

Clicking on either latest bill or Student Account will bring you to your most recent billing statement.

To view your latest transaction from the Home tab:

In the Quick View box, click on the Recent Payments and Credits tab.

You will now be able to see the three most recent credits to your account. If you are looking for a list of more payments than just these three, click on Payment History. This will link you to the Payments tab and allow you to see an itemized list of all payments that have been made to your account. The payment history instructions will give you more specific information on how to create this list.

Note: Clicking the Home tab will always return you to the Quick View screen.

Instructions for viewing and understanding the eBill using the eBill tab

Click on the eBill tab from the top ribbon of tabs. By default, the page should open to Account Summary from the dark blue ribbon.

You will find a box with information regarding your current status including the Due Date for the bill, the Statement Amount, the Current Balance, and the option to Pay. The distinction between Statement Amount and Current Balance is that Statement Amount reflects the status of the account on the day the bill was posted. Current Balance, on the other hand, has the same charges and credits that would be accounted for in the Statement Amount but may also includes payments and charges that have occurred since the bill was posted.

Available options from the eBill page:

View Statement Drop Box: By default, this will be set to the date of the most recent bill. However, you can also click the triangle and choose a past bill. Click ok.
Print This Statement: Clicking the Print This Statement link will open a new window with a printable bill. From here you can print the bill if you are looking for a paper copy version of the bill.

On the eBill itself:

In the upper right corner, you can find a quick overview of the information that is on the bill: the date the bill was posted, the due date, and the amount that is due.

The contact information for the Student Accounts Office can be found to the left under the shield. Please direct questions you have regarding your bill to our office.

Below this, you will see current charges and current credits. These include any charges or credits that have occurred since the last billing statement. By subtracting the credits from the charges, you will calculate the Current Billed Balance. This amount should match the number listed as the Amount Due in the upper right corner. This is the amount you will be expected to pay by the date specified.

You may see a divider line below Current Billed Balance and an Authorized Financial Aid Heading. Authorized financial aid means that the funds are on their way, but they have not been received by the Financial Aid Office. The difference between the Financial Aid Balance and the Current Billed Balance will appear below as the Total Amount Due.

You may also see a section titled Memo Items. If something is listed as a Memo Item, it means that there is a step in the process of procuring the funds that has not yet been taken care of; the funds will not arrive until those items are taken care of. If you have questions regarding these Memo Items, please contact the Financial Aid Office at 320-363-3664.

Current Balance: The Current Balance is calculated by taking the Previous Billed Balance, adding the charges, and subtracting the credits. This reflects the balance shown from the billing period without taking in to account Authorized Aid or Memo Items.

Total Amount Due: The Total Amount Due is the Current Balance minus Authorized Financial Aid (not Memo Items). This is the amount you should be paying.

How to look up account activity since the previous billing statement:

Go to the eBill tab from the top ribbon.
Go to the Recent Account Activity link in the dark blue ribbon.
The page will automatically open to Current Activity which will itemize anything that has happened to the account since the last billing statement.

Instructions on how to change the term that is shown

On the same page, there will be a drop down box titled View Transactions by Term.
Click on the triangle. A list of different terms will show up. Note: If there is a number in brackets next to a term, that means there is still an unpaid balance from that term.
Click the term you would like to see.
Press Go.
The Estimated Financial Aid and the Current Activity will change to reflect the given term.
You can sort the items on the list by clicking on their header. You are able to sort based on Description, Date, or Amount.
