The Bursar’s Office is the place to go for financial issues pertaining to your student account. We are here to assist you with questions about tuition charges, payment arrangements and payment plans. An understanding of how outstanding balances can interfere with the ability to register for classes is central to our mission. Students are encouraged to visit the Bursar’s Office for clarification on our procedures and policies.

RWU utilizes electronic billing through the Student Account Center (SAC). SAC is a one-stop, real time, online environment for all your billing account needs. This site allows you to receive billing statements, view up-to-the-minute account activity, make payments, and enroll in an optional semester monthly payment plan. RWU does not mail paper statements. Only the student is given initial access to SAC. Students can grant access to parents and other authorized users at https://rwu.afford.com. Please note: You must be a registered student with actual charges to access SAC.

Creating and maintaining open lines of communication between students and the Bursar’s Office is essential to a smooth registration process and an enjoyable college experience. We welcome your concerns and your comments
