    How To View PAWS Online Billing Statement


    Students will now be able to view an online billing statement on their PAWS account by clicking on the "View Billing Statement" link located on the Student Center page under the Finances section and then clicking the "Get Billing Statement" button.


    When they click on the Get Billing Statement button, the statement that displays will be in PDF format so the student can view it, print it, or save it as a file on their computer. This online statement has been tested on PCs, Macs, and Linux (all with Adobe Acrobat of 7 or higher). It also works with the most up-to-date versions of our supported browsers.

    Allowing others to access your PAWS account for payment

    PAWS allows you to designate access to special accounts that are limited to: To Do Lists, Making a Payment, and View Grades. To do so, select "Grant Access to Others" in the Personal Information section near the bottom of the page.
    The user accounts the student creates for the designated account(s) are limited to the username of ePantherID_D1, ePantherID_D2, or ePantherID_D3. An example of one is JOHNDOE_D3. After you create the account, make sure to choose 'Give access' to Financial Make a Payment. The account you created for designated access will login at PAWS Login(make sure to select the gray Parents,Designates, and Guests button) with the password you chose and username provided.
