There are three sessions available in the summer. Each session has its own financial clearance deadline. Please pay careful attention to when your classes begin and when you need to financially clear for those classes. Log in to your TouchNet® Student Account Center to see your account balance. Accounts with an amount due will require payment in full before the first classes begin.

MAY 15 

• If any of your classes start in May, financially clear by 5pm on May 15. If you have not cleared by this date, your classes will be dropped, even classes with a later starter date.

JUNE 12 

• If the earliest any of your classes start is June, financially clear by 5pm on June 12. If you have not cleared by this date, your classes will be dropped, even those starting in July.

JULY 10 

• If your classes do not start until July, financially clear by 5pm on July 10. If you have not cleared by this date, your classes will be dropped.

Emails were sent to students last week to let them know that 2018 1098Ts were now available for viewing.

Students (with an Andrews user name) can login to TouchNet Student Account Center.

Parents or other authorized users can login to TouchNet Authorized Users.

Important information regarding your 1098-T statement.

• Prior to the 2018 tax year, Andrews University reported using the Box 2 method:  Amounts billed for Qualified Tuition and Related Expenses (QTRE).  Payments were not reported on your 1098-T form.
• Beginning with the 2018 tax year, the IRS requires all schools to report using the Box 1 method: Payments received for Qualified Tuition and Related Expenses (QTRE), rather than the Box 2 method.
• This year's 1098-T will now have an amount listed in Box 1 (Payments), but no amount will be listed in Box 2.
• Per IRS regulations, the amount shown in Box 1 is payments received (for QTRE) from all sources.  This includes scholarships and grants, which are also reported in Box 5.  You will need to refer to your own payment records and/or your student account statements when calculating any educational tax credits or deductions.

Andrews University cannot provide any tax advice.  If you have questions about how to compute an education tax credit/deduction, consult your tax professional or refer to IRS Publication 970 (Tax Benefits for Education).
