Parent and Guardian Information
As we welcome your student to Valparaiso University, we also want to encourage you to be in constant communication with them.
Parent and Guardian Information
We often find that when students leave home, they also leave out information their parents and guardians still need to help them through their college experience. To better serve our parents, here are a few pieces of financial aid information you need to know that your student may forget to tell you.
Student Finance Self-Service: Student Finance allows students to view their current balance, account summary, activity, and view a statement. Under helpful links you are able to make a payment/set up a payment plan, add Beacon Bucks and invite authorized payers to the payment portal.
E-Bill Statement: After a student registers for classes, an e-bill statement will be made available to view in Student Finance. Fall e-bills will be available in early July and Spring e-bills will be available in Mid November. No paper bills will be issued. The due date for the Fall term is August 15th, and the spring term is due by January 5th.
Returning student registration for summer classes begins in February, October for spring registration, and April for fall registration. Students who have a balance on their student account MAY NOT be able to register for that term of registration. Your balance may be viewed any time through Student Finance or with your student to make sure all balances are covered to avoid issues with registration. If the student attended summer classes and has a balance, this may prohibit them from registering for the fall semester.
FAFSA: Filing your FAFSA each year is important to do for both student and parent financial aid, and recommended by the Office of Financial Aid. Families are encouraged to complete the FAFSA after October 1 and before April 15. If you are from outside Indiana you should check the FAFSA website to ensure you know your state deadlines for filing.
