Student Financial Services Updates 

Student Financial Services (SFS) cashiering windows, located in lower level of Lucina Hall, are closed for in-person payments. If you prefer making payments in-person, Cardinal Central, located in L.A. Pittenger Center room 120, will be available to process payments during normal business hours. For alternative payment methods, please refer to eBill. You may contact us by email at cardinalcentral@bsu.edu or by phone 765-285-2222.

All payments are due the first of every month. Ensure you pay at least the Minimum Amount Due on your eBill to avoid a hold that could prevent registration.

Tax Form 1098-T is currently available for all students enrolled in the 2023 tax year.
