Making a Payment

Your Student Account & How to Pay

Your account statement is available 24/7 online through your MyTrent portal. We do not send bills or invoices by mail or by email.

Your student account is maintained by the University's secure student system. It is where we charge all your fees and your payments are received. It is every students responsibility to regularly log in and review their own statement of account and that all balances have been paid in full by the deadline dates.
