Payment Methods and Financing Options

Billing and payment information can be found in the Student Payment Portal or Authorized User Portal. Payment plan enrollment and authorized user setup (student initiated) is also available via the Student Payment Portal. Parents, guardians, or other designees that have been previously granted permission by a student can access the Portal through the Authorized User Portal.

We encourage students/parents to utilize Payment Portal to make an electronic check/credit card payment as this is the fastest way to make a payment. There is no additional fee to make an electronic ACH payment. Credit cards are subject to a 2.95% convenience fee.

If you prefer to send a check by mail, please make it payable to “Pace University.”

Include the student’s full name and Pace UID number on the check in the Memo line. Please take a photo of the front and back of the check before you mail it for your records.

It can take up to 3 weeks for the University to receive the mailed check and post to the account.

Please note the following to avoid delays:

• Do not post-date checks.
• We will accept FedEx, UPS, DHL or Emory deliveries addressed to Student Accounts.
• Never send cash in the mail.

Many states and financial services institutions offer 529 savings programs for families to save money for a child’s college education. Each program has separate rules and regulations governing how funds may be used and how to have monies sent to the Pace University. Always check with your provider about how and when to request release of funds, as well as what documents, such as an electronic copy of the student’s bill, are needed.

If you participate in either the Guaranteed Savings Plan or Investment Plan programs, you must first contact the program to request that a payment be issued. You should always provide a copy of your tuition bill when making your request.

Please note that payments from your program accounts may take up to ten (10) business days after the program approves your request before the funds are issued to and received by Pace University.

Many 529 College Savings Plans now have a digital option. When requesting your withdrawal, look to see if digital disbursement is available from your plan. If the digital option is not available, please make sure the remittance address, listed below has been updated by your plan program.

The Mailed Payment may be sent to:

Payment Processing Center
861 Bedford Road

The University must receive the full amount due on or before the bill’s due date, regardless of payment method. If full payment is not received by the due date, a late payment penalty will be added.

Additionally, the student may be placed on a financial hold, and registration may be dropped for non-payment.

A check not honored by the bank is subject to a $20 returned check charge (this fee is non-refundable). Any balance unpaid on the student account as a result of the returned check is subject to a late payment penalty. The University reserves the right to require a cashier’s check or certified check on future payments.

A payment returned for non-sufficient funds is subject to a $20 NSF Fee and any unpaid balance as a result of an NSF payment will be subject to a late payment penalty.

For students who wish to grant access to an “authorized” user, the portal will provide the option for students to send an invitation email to whomever the student “authorizes”. The invitation will include access to the student account information and submit a payment on the student’s behalf.
