With an eCheck, money is electronically withdrawn from your checking account, transferred over the ACH network, and desposited the university. You will need your banking account information(Routing and Account Number) to make the payment. There is no processing fee for electronic checks.

International Payments

We partnered with Convera and TransferMate to give you a simple, reliable way to pay. This allows you to pay in your home currency, either online or by bank transfer, with competitive exchange rates and takes the stress and uncertainity out of paying for your tuition.

Which one should I use? TransferMate is available through your student account center, presenting your account balance at the time of payment. With TransferMate, you can confidentially pay your full balance - no shortages or overages! Convera is also a great option for paying but you need to know your account balance before you begin to make a payment.

Payment Requirements

Failure to enroll in the installment payment plan or make payment in full prior to the first class day for your earliest enrolled part of term may result in the loss of classes but does not automatically constitute a withdrawal from the University. Your payment amount cannot be more than your total semester charges. Your semester charges will include tuition and fees for all parts of term enrolled for the semester.

Add, Drop, & Resignation Deadlines

Paying in Full

When paying in full, your payment amount should match your account balance. If you increase your credit hours, add fees, or enroll in additional parts of term, you will need to make an additional payment once the charges post to your account. Please monitor your account for updates. Failure to pay additional charges could result in loss of class schedule.

Enrolling in a Payment Plan

If you enroll in a payment plan, your payment amount will be your account balance divided into installments determined in the payment plan contract. Failure to enroll in the installment payment plan by the designated due date could result loss of class schedule.

  • If you are only enrolled in a 7b course, your full payment or first installment is due 1 day prior to the first class day for the 7b course.
