College adopts online bill pay
Beginning Dec. 1, the college will only accept credit card payments through its new online system as the initial step toward a paperless billing system. Students can then view their financial account with the college and pay tuition, room, board, general fees and other bills online, but must also pay an additional 2.75 percent of their bill as a service fee.
The Business Office will still accept cash or check payments in person or by mail.
Students may authorize other people, such as parents or guardians, to pay bills with their account, and may set up an account and authorize such users through WebAdvisor or through http://my.hillsdale.edu.
This system will not include online payments for student loans immediately, but administrators plan that option for the future.

Students attempt prank on ATO?
Tuesday night, four students collected more than 40 signs from local lawns into an open car trunk and drove towards the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity house, apparently to fork its lawn with signs. A City of Hillsdale police officer noticed the open trunk and pulled them over, then called campus security when he learned their plans to put the signs into the ATO lawn in the name of Sigma Chi fraternity.
The assortment of signs consisted of everything from political placards to local contractors' advertisements to Girl Scout billboards.
"They weren't too picky about what they were taking," said Director of Security Mike Wertz.
Two student security workers answered the policeman's call, took the signs, and extracted agreements from the offending students to return the signs by yesterday.

Students steal campus signs
Two female students began removing political signs from near the Hillsdale County fairgrounds at about 12:30 a.m. on Nov. 4. Campus security caught them and their male driver on West Street soon after. After claiming he didn't know what the women had been doing in the back of his car, the driver then agreed to return the signs in the morning.
