Program mission statement
Endorsing the Catholic Benedictine values of faith, reason, service, and
community, the Office of Student Accounts, as part of the Student Financial
Service Center, supports the mission of Saint Martin's University to empower
students in their pursuit of learning and honors their sacredness as
individuals as well as their families and our community in an efficient and
caring professional manner. This service reflects the Benedictine traditions
of hospitality, communication, and respect while maintaining a high level of
accuracy and integrity.
Our purpose is to provide efficient and welcoming service to all of the
Saint Martin’s community, and empathetic and reverent counsel to our
students and their families in regards to their financial education
concerns, inquiries, or limitations. This document will occasionally refer
to the department as the Student Financial Service Center now that the
Office of Student Accounts has merged with the Office of Financial Aid. The
information provided, however, refers to the student accounts area of this
department and will indicate that area specifically as deemed necessary.
