Student Tips

It is important for Principia to make sure you and your family feel confident in the next years as an undergraduate student. To make sure your process goes as smoothly as possible, use this checklist as a guide:

1. Set up an Authorized User(s): give your parents or guardians permission to pay your bill. Authorized users do not have access to grades.
2. Confirm your Enrollment
3. FAFSA-filers: Set up your eRefund Account. See Student Refunds
4. Review Payment Options Available (PrinBill)
5. Be familiar with Principia College Rebate policy
6. Read all College emails
7. Initiate, if appropriate, 529 Payment with your provider. Many 529 College Savings plans now have a digital distribution option (electronic ACH) which saves time. When requesting a withdrawal from your plan, check with your plan administrator to see if a digital distribution option is available. If your 529 Plan provider cannot accommodate digital distribution, they can still mail a paper check.  Please allow up to 4 weeks for processing (so please plan accordingly for specific due dates).  Paper checks can be sent to:
