Self-Service and CASHNet

You can take care of your student account business online by accessing Self-Service and doing a variety of tasks such as:

• Your Student Account and Financial Aid - View your student account (and financial aid if applicable)
• Statement of Your Account - Request a statement of your tuition and fees account by clicking on the Financial Account tile.  Then click on the Statement of Accounts button. This request sends a PDF statement of the last 365 days to your SAIC email.
• Opt Out of Paper Bills - Go Green! As part of SAIC's Go Green Initiative, we ask all students to opt out of receiving paper bills and just the eBills that are available in CASHNet every month. 
• Your Tasks - View your Tasks (or things to do) of outstanding financial items you may need to submit or complete. (if applicable)
• Holds - View Holds for enrollment and services due to a past due balances or other reasons
• Student Employment Work Authorizations - Approve Student Employment Work Authorization if you have been offered a student employment job and access past Work Authorizations for previous jobs.  Click on the Other Services tile and click Student Work Authorizations.
• Student Employment Earning Reports  - Run Earnings Reports to see your total earnings to date for your student employment jobs or per semester.  Click on the Other Services Non-Mobile tile and click Earning Reports.

While in Self-Service, you may also access CASHNet to use electronic payment and refund options.  To access CASHNet click on the Financial Account tile and then CASHNet.

• eRefund - Enroll in eRefunds (direct deposit advances and refunds to your bank account)
