Business Affairs in the News

Check out these articles featured on the UNLV News Center that highlight the work of our Business Affairs teams.

Department Highlight: Cashiering and Student Accounts

The start of the semester is a whirlwind for the Cashiering and Student Accounts team, but they’re always up for the challenge.

This dynamic group plays a crucial role in educating students and parents about their financial responsibilities related to enrollment. The department is structured with Cashiering handling student payments and campus-wide processing, while Student Accounts manages collections from students and third parties, ensuring that all charges are correctly aligned with Board of Regents fees. 

The team also sets up payment plans, working a semester ahead to help students manage their financial commitments and focus on their education. They’re excited about an upcoming upgrade to Touchnet, a third party payment processor, which will soon offer students more flexibility in managing their payments, including new features like text notifications and recurring payments.

Don’t take our word for it – check out the video to see the team in action as they navigate the bustling start of the semester!

Spotlight on Service

In October 2023, we distributed our annual Business Affairs customer service survey. Many of our campus colleagues replied to the survey with notes of praise for our hard-working teams. See below for some highlights for Cashiering and Student Accounts. 

“I work with this team often on very specific student issues and they're outstanding. Fast response, friendly, helpful, and always find / offer a solution. Love this team!”

“Great office - always friendly and helpful. Takes pride in assisting staff and students alike.”

“The staff is very knowledgeable and are always welcoming, helpful, and courteous.”
