Beginning July 1, 2026, a 2.85% processing fee will be applied to credit & debit card payments made to the Bursar’s Office. This fee is charged by the credit card processor—not the university.

Credit card companies charge processing fees on every transaction. These fees have grown significantly over time and currently represent a meaningful cost to the university. By shifting the fee to those who choose to pay by credit card, the university can better direct its resources toward academic programs, student services and campus operations.

Yes. The university will offer a no-fee payment option: eCheck/ACH, which provides a secure, easy and cost-free way to pay tuition and fees. These options are available through the online payment system (QuikPay) and use your bank’s routing and account numbers.

There is also a no-fee option to pay in person at the Bursar’s Office using cash or check.
