If you are signed up for e-Cashier for Fall Semester, you will need to sign up again for Spring Semester — your Fall account will not work for Spring.

E-bills available online this weekSubmitted by: Jennifer Gilsdorf
On Nov. 20, all students that have a current balance owing for their Fall Semester 2009, as of Nov. 20, were emailed a notice that their e-bill is available online in Web Services. E-bill notices will be sent out the 20th of each month until the tuition account balance is paid in full.
To view your current tuition bill:
1. Log into Web Services
2. Click on your student tab
3. On your Student tab click on the link named "View a printable schedule and bill" located in the left hand column.
Effective starting Fall Semester 2009, Aims Community College students will no longer receive a paper bill via U.S. mail during the semester.
Instead students will receive statement notices online via their aims and other email accounts on record for the student. If you are not receiving e-billing notices, please login into Web Services and update your personal contact information.
Please remember if you are on an E-Cashier payment plan, your current balance indicated on your online bill may not include any recent payments made thru the E-Cashier. It takes up to 10 days for e-cashier payments to post to your Aims tuition account.
