The following payment options are available for your Consolidated Student Bill:
ONLINE PAYMENT OPTIONS - AVAILABLE 24/7

Bank Account - Low cost, easy and convenient
PLEASE NOTE: Beginning May 2026, a 0.1% transaction fee, with a maximum fee of $5, will be assessed by our processor for bank account payments. Ex: $1,000 payment at 0.1% = $1 Fee
Verify your checking or savings bank account number and routing transit number and make sure you have sufficient funds before making a payment. Errors will result in a non-refundable returned payment fee.

Credit Card - Only online
A nonrefundable convenience fee will be added to all card payments. This charge is assessed by and paid directly to our payment processor CASHNet SMARTPAY - Transact. The fee is as follows: Domestic Cards - 2.95% ($3 minimum) International Cards - 4.25% ($3 minimum)
Card payments are not accepted over the phone or in person at the Bursar’s Office.
Cards accepted:
Using your debit card? To minimize cost, consider paying by Bank Account instead. DO NOT use the numbers off of your card. Use the routing and account number for the bank account associated with your debit card. If you do not have a blank check to reference, your bank can provide the correct routing and account numbers for payment.
International Payments
We encourage students to compare rates across the international payment methods to determine their best option. Multiple options are available, and once you complete the initial required fields, the payment methods available for your country will be displayed.
A new quote must be obtained each time payment is made or if the quoted time frame expires. Until your payment settlement is complete, the payment will show as PENDING and will not be seen in MyRED. Once the payment is received by our processor, it will be applied to your student account in MyRED.
Review International Payments for more detailed instructions of this payment option.
