Eagle Service

What is Eagle Service:

Eagle Service is a web based self-service solution for students, and their parents, to pay and view your student account bill under the Student Finance tab.

The Student Finance tab provides a detailed, dynamic, and user-friendly accounting of student finances for current and prior terms, with a breakdown of:

  • Charges - tuition, housing, meal plan, mandatory fee and other charges.
  • Payments - payments received are broken down into Student, Financial Aid, Sponsor and Deposit Payments.
  • Refunds - refunds processed for credit balances

To protect your privacy, the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) requires us to obtain student permission before sharing your educational records, whereby Parent (Person Proxy) Access allows a parent/guardian to view the stated student account information.

If you have any questions related to Eagle Services, please contact AU Central at aucentral@american.edu.

Online payments made with incorrect account or routing numbers will not be recognized by your financial institution and will be returned unpaid within one to five business days. A $25 returned check fee will be assessed when a check is not paid by the bank and a financial hold will be placed on the student’s records. Please note that online payment amounts must be less than $50,000.00.
