Payment Portal and eBill Statements

Hawai'i Pacific Å·ÃÀAƬ provides students access to their financial account details (tuition, fee, housing, meal plan, and other charges) and their overall balance within their payment portal, also called Transact. All details about a student's financial transaction history and amount owed to HPU are available within the payment portal. 

 

  • Students: To access the payment portal, log into the myHPU portal, then click the Business and Payments envelope icon in the Student QuickLaunch section. 
  • Parents and other authorized users: To access the payment portal after your student has granted you access (see below), visit 
what can I do in the payment portal?

Setting Up a Payer (Authorized User)

A student can set up a Payer (also known as Authorized User) or revoke previously-granted permission to access their account. This process enables family members or other individuals the ability to log in and view the student's financial information at any time, and grants other abilities such as the ability to pay or manage a payment plan on their behalf depending on the permissions granted by the student.

Adding an authorized user to a student's payment portal does not enable HPU staff to discuss details about a student account; under FERPA, only a FERPA authorized user may received details of a student account. More information about FERPA is available on the Registrar's website. 

  • To set up a Payer, the student logs into the myHPU portal, selecting "Business and Payments" from the Student QuickLaunch section. 
  • Then, select "My Account." 
  • Then, select "Send a payer invitation." 
  • Follow the instructions to enter your Payer's information. 
  • The Payer will receive an email (check Spam or Junk if not received) with instructions to create their own user ID and password. The Payer must follow those instructions.

About eBill Statements

HPU's eBill Statements are documents created and published by HPU that provide an official record of the balance owed to the university as of the date the statement is created.  For an example of an eBill Statement, click here. The eBill Statement is the same thing as an invoice or a bill. Read on for more information. 

 

HPU creates eBill Statements every few weeks beginning approximately six weeks before the first day of classes each semester, and at least once a month during the semester.

Students (and any Authorized Users) receive an email notification letting them know a new eBill Statement has been generated, asking them to log into the payment portal to view the document (statements are not attached to these mass-generated emails for security purposes).

Parents and other authorized users will receive this email notification to the email addressed used to set up their payer account.

Students with $0.00 balances will not receive an email notification, but a statement is still generated and viewable within the payment portal.

Students (and authorized users) with a balance greater than $0.00 will receive automated email notifications, even when the balance is covered by a payment plan. This is to ensure you take the time at least once a month to monitor the balance and ensure there have been no changes to the amount owed or your payment plan.

As outlined in HPU's Financial Responsibility Agreement, even if a student does not receive or review a statement, they are not absolved of my financial responsibility to pay HPU by the tuition payment deadline each semester.

Note to Military Students

If you have a Tuition Assistance Voucher (TA) you must submit the signed copy to your Base Advisor at Kaneohe, Pearl Harbor, Hickam, Schofield, or Tripler. Please be advised that your Base Advisor may be different than your Academic Advisor. Your Base Advisor will review your TA and forward it to the appropriate department for processing.

If you are not eligible for TA, you, the student, are responsible for the tuition charges which must be paid by the deadline as outlined in the Academic Calendar for each term.

Military Campus Program (MCP) and online courses are available for students who are eligible for the Military Tuition Waiver Award. Courses taken at the Downtown Campus (DHC) which may include certain online courses may not be included in the Tuition Waiver. Please seek guidance with your Academic and Base Advisors if you have further questions. 

The student is responsible for ensuring their account is in good standing with Hawaii Pacific Å·ÃÀAƬ. Please make sure to check your student account in MyHPU throughout the term to confirm your waivers, should you be eligible, have been applied appropriately. If you have questions about your account balance, email ar@hpu.edu and include your student ID number.
