- Any other payments made through the TouchNet Billing.
Following the disruption:
- An all-campus email will be sent when the system is back online.

Aug. 21: WOW Move-In Day volunteers needed
SRU is seeking volunteers from the campus community to help first-year students move into their residence halls, Aug. 21, as part of the Week of Welcome move-in day.
- This is a long-standing tradition that makes SRU a welcoming environment and distinct from many other institutions.
- There are a variety of times and positions available and every volunteer is essential to the success of WOW, from the move-in coordinators in each residence hall to those directing traffic and providing information at key points around campus.
- Sign up for a volunteer shift on the SRU WOW Volunteer webpage.
For more information, contact Stacy Bluedorn at 724.738.4842 or stacy.bluedorn@sru.edu.
