Online Payment Options
Electronic Check, Debit Card and Credit Card (American Express, Discover and MasterCard) are accepted online. Credit Card payments will be assessed a 2.5% non-refundable convenience fee. Payments via electronic check and debit card are fee-free.

In Person Payment Options
You may make a payment in person at the Bursar's Office in the Wintergreen Building. Methods of payment are cash and checks (including money orders) ONLY.

You may also use the Express Payment Box in the Wintergreen Building (available when the Wintergreen Building is open only).  The Express Payment Box excepts payments made by check. Please do NOT place cash in the Express Payment Box. Payments are posted to your account by the next business day. If you require a receipt, please include a request for receipt with your Express Payment and one will be mailed to you.

 

Penalty for late and non-payment
A full or part time matriculated student's account is considered "past due" after a 10 day grace period from the due date. Any part-time student and/or any full-time student who registers after the semester due date and does not pay upon registration is also considered past due. Past due student accounts are subject to a $50 Late fee, having a hold placed on them, and/or having their class schedule canceled and if applicable, their housing assignment canceled. Holds placed on accounts will prevent students from registering for subsequent semesters, restrict access to transcripts and grades, and/or their class schedule will be canceled. Special circumstances may be reviewed on a case by case basis.

FINANCIAL AID

An application for financial aid does not guarantee eligibility for a financial aid award nor exemption from your payment. If you have not received a financial aid award notification by your bill due date (as described above), you must make other payment arrangements. If you have accepted a financial aid award, your total accepted award may not yet appear on your current bill. If your financial aid is not present on your current eBill statement and you have a balance due to the University, you must make payment arrangements by your bill due date.

You may review your financial aid award on the web on MYSCSU Banner Web.  If you have any questions, we encourage you to visit the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships in the Wintergreen Building or contact the office at (203) 392-5222.
