Making a Payment / Thursday, February 02, 2012

There are three ways to make a payment in the Student Center:

An Electronic Check, which is a payment from a checking or savings account,

A Credit Card Payment, which will be billed to a credit card,

and a Payment Plan, which will allow you to make a partial initial payment and create a payment schedule for the remaining balance.

Use the following instructions to make a credit card payment.

Scroll down the page.

Select the Make a Payment link.

Scroll down the page.

To pay the entire balance, press the Pay Charges button.

If you do not want to pay the entire balance, you may select a charge to pay and enter the amount of the payment for each charge in the Payment Amount field.

The Zero Out Amounts button will clear any payment amounts entered.

When entering individual amounts, use the Calculate Grand Total to add up the total amount of the payment.

In this example, we will only pay a partial amount of the amount due.

Click the Calculate Grand Total button.

Click the Next button.

Select Credit Card from the Pay By drop down box.

Payments by Electronic Check and Payment Plans are covered later in this tutorial.

The Pay By drop down box will allow you to pay by credit card, electronic check, or a payment plan.

Click the Next button.

Scroll down the page.

Complete all the information requested on this page. If any field is left incomplete, you will not be able to proceed to the next step.

When entering credit card information, review the displayed address.

If this adddress is not the billing address of the credit card, select the Edit Address link to enter the correct billing address.

When updating the address information, you only need to enter the address and zip code.

Click the OK button.

The software will display the city, state, and county based on the zip code entered.

If this information is incorrect, click the No button to return to the previous page and correct the zip code.

If this information is correct, click the Yes button.

Click the Next button.

Scroll down the page.

Review all payment information before completing the process.

If a correction needs to be made, you can press the Previous button to return to the previous page or the Cancel button to cancel the transaction.

Click the Submit button to complete the process.

After submitting the payment, you will receive a message indicating that the payment was either accepted or declined.

If your payment was declined, you may use the Previous button to make needed changes to the payment information and submit the payment again.

If the payment was accepted, your transaction is complete.

Paying by Electronic Check will allow you to pay directly from your checking or savings account.

Select Electronic Check from the Pay By drop down box.

Click the Next button.

Scroll down the page.

Enter your First Name and Last Name.

Select either Checking or Savings as the Bank Account Type.

Enter your Routing Number and Account Number.

Enter your Telephone Number and Email Address.

Click the Next button.

Review the Address information.

If incorrect, use the Edit Address link to update the address as described in the previous section of this tutorial.

If the payment amount or the payment details are incorrect, use the appropriate button to correct the problem.

This page will display the payment amount, payment details, and the authorization agreement.

Scroll down the page.

Once you have reviewed the authorization, click the Yes, I have read the agreement check box.

Review the authorization information.

Enter your Social Security Number.

Click the Submit button.

This page will show if the payment was accepted or declined.

If accepted, no further action is necessary.

If the payment was declined, review the error message and take the necessary steps to resolve the problem.

A payment plan can be used when a student is unable to pay the entire account balance at the time of registration. It requires an initial payment and creates a payment schedule for the remaining balance.

Select Payment Plan from the Pay By drop down box.

Click the Next button.

Click the Setup Payment Plan link.

A new window will appear, which will display the e-Cashier for your campus. Follow the on screen instructions to complete your transaction.
