24/7 Account Access
Conveniently view your bill and account activity online in real time! Log into Self-Service (DataVU1) using your current Valpo credentials and select Student Finance for a comprehensive view of all your account information.
If you would like a family member to assist with the paying of your tuition and fees you must invite them to become Authorized Payers. Authorized Payers will have their own Transact username and password. They will still view your entire account and current balances by using their current DataVU1 username and password.
Guests Anyone can make a payment to your account as a Guest using only your Student ID number and your last name. Guests will not see your account balances but can enter an amount they would like to pay by visiting Guest Pay.
You can add funds by going to Student Finance and select “Add Beacon Bucks – Students Only” under helpful links. Authorized payers can also add Beacon Bucks to your account by selecting, “Proxy Pymt/Plans-Beacon Bucks.”
To invite family members to assist with the paying of your tuition and fees, you will need to set them up as Authorized Payers from the home page of the Transact payment portal:
- Go to “My Account”
- Scroll down to “Payer” section
- Click “Send Payer Invitation”
- Enter the person’s name and email address and submit
The system will send the recipient an invitation and temporary password to set up their own account, with their own username and password.

Financial Aid And Student Accounts
At a Glance
Estimate Your Cost
The Net Price Calculator helps prospective students and families estimate the cost of attending Valparaiso University after grants and scholarships. Based on recent student award data, it provides an estimate of financial aid and remaining costs to help families plan ahead.
These estimates are not guarantees of aid, and students must still complete all admissions and financial aid requirements by the appropriate deadlines. Families with unusual financial circumstances are encouraged to contact the Office of Financial Aid for assistance.
FAFSA: Your Key to Funding College
Each fall, the FAFSA becomes available on October 1, allowing undergraduate and graduate students to begin planning their financial aid for the next academic year. At Valpo, financial aid awards are reviewed and processed on a rolling basis once your admission application and FAFSA are received, giving you earlier insight into your college costs. Indiana-based undergraduates who wish to be considered for state grant funding must complete the FAFSA no later than April 15.
