Payment Options

Payment by E-Check (Electronic Fund Transfer)

Students may pay their bill with an e-check, which electronically debits a checking or savings account, online via CUNYfirst. No fee is charged for an e-check transaction. For detailed instructions on how to pay by e-check, review our FAQ’s​ or the Bursar Information Letter.

Payment by Credit Card
All credit card payments (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover) are processed through  CUNYfirst. When your credit card payment is processed, a nonrefundable service fee of 2.65% will be charged to your account in addition to your payment. For more information about credit and debit card payments please read this advisory. Advisory: Enhanced Credit and Debit Card Payment Options for Tuition and Fees

No credit card payments are accepted by fax, mail, telephone, or at our Bursar's Office window. If you are paying for any non-instructional fees such as readmission fees, application fees, or decals, etc., you cannot use a credit card at this time.

Nelnet Payment Plan

Students interested in a monthly payment plan may enroll in the Nelnet Payment Plan through their CUNYfirst Self-Service Center. Payment plans are available for Spring, Summer, and Fall terms. If paying by credit card, the enrollment fee is $95 per term. If paying by e-check, the enrollment fee is $40 per term. 

Note: The payment plan will consider any prior term balances on your student account.

External/Private Scholarship
The student’s award letter must be submitted to the Bursar’s Office immediately upon receipt and/or before the due date of the student’s bill.

College/Department Scholarship
The respective college department will inform the Financial Aid Office of the student’s award. The Financial Aid Office will post the award to the student’s account.

Federal and State Financial Aid/Loans
- Students must apply early so that awards are reflected on their student account by their due date.

- Any financial aid appearing on the student account is ESTIMATED and subject to change.

- Financial Aid will not appear on the student account unless all instructions outlined in the student’s award letter are followed and all requested documents are submitted.

- Students must check and complete all items on their To Do List in their Self-Service Center on CUNYfirst.

Note:

- If the financial aid payment does not fully cover the student’s balance, the student is responsible for paying the difference by their due date.

- If the financial aid the student expected is not posted to the bill, the student must resolve any issues with the Financial Aid Office before the bill due date.

- Changes in the student’s semester enrollment can result in reduced or revoked financial aid, making the student responsible for paying any remaining balance on their bill.

- If the student becomes ineligible early for all aid originally posted to the bill and made no payment, the student’s registration may be canceled for non-payment.

- Some aid programs require a Declaration of Major form be filed in order for a student to continue to receive aid. Students completing the form must get departmental signatures, then submit it to the One Stop Service Center no later than the end of the first three weeks of the semester for which it needs to be effective.
