BILLING AND FINANCIAL AID

Student Financial Services uses TouchNet’s online Bill + Payment system to view monthly bills and account activity, and make online payments via credit card or e-check. You can access Bill + Payment through myPugetSound.

Bills are posted by semester; your fall bill will be available in July. Payment is due by Aug. 15.

To allow parents or other family members to view and pay your bill, you must set them up as authorized users. For instructions on how to do so, please visit pugetsound.edu/billpayinfo.

If you haven’t applied for need-based financial aid, there is still time to submit your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) at fafsa.ed.gov. Our school code is #003797.

CAREER AND EMPLOYMENT SERVICES

Career and Employment Services (CES) provides resources and advising for students at every point in their career planning: career exploration, internships, employment (part-time, federal/state workstudy, summer/seasonal, full-time), job search resources, and more.

Students who are not eligible for federal/state work-study employment can still apply for on-campus jobs through the LoggerJobs database. Departments that typically hire student employees regardless of financial aid eligibility include Dining & Conference Services, Facilities Services, Security Services, and the Office of Admission.

Interested in working off campus? LoggerJobs includes listings by neighbor hood families (movers, babysitters, house sitters, etc.) and local employers offering regular part-time employment. To learn about job-search strategies that will help you identify and compete for part-time opportunities, plan to attend the Part-time Job Opportunities session during Orientation.
