Direct Tuition payment Options Explained

Cash Transactions
Cash, money orders, and traveler's checks are accepted for tuition payments, transcripts, and other fees and payments due.  Money orders and traveler’s checks must be made out to Utah State University, and must include Student ID number or A number.  All three methods of payment may be done in person in TSC 246.  Change is given for cash transactions only.

Personal Checks
We accept personal checks in the Registrar's Office for tuition payments, transcripts, and other payments as required.

Credit Cards
USU accepts MasterCard, Discover Card, or American Express for tuition payment via ACCESS. The University does not accept VISA cards for tuition purposes. We apologize for this inconvenience. The Registrar's Office cannot process credit card or debit payments in person. Please login to ACCESS, which will lead you to a secure website where you may complete credit card payments. Kiosks are available near the Registrar's Office for this purpose. ALL credit card transactions will be assessed a 2.75% surcharge.

E-Checks
Electronic check payment is also available for online payment. This can be done by the student logging into ACCESS, which will lead you to a secure website where you may pay by electronic check. Please follow the instructions provided to assure the proper information is used for payment verification. This feature has no additional service fee attached.

***Please Note***

Refunds
The University does not release surplus funds directly to the student as cash. A credit on the student's account may be refunded through check to the student by the University via direct deposit or most current mailing address on file.

Returned Checks

  • If your check is returned by your bank for any reason, the University will refer your account to Check Rite for collection of the check.
  • A $20 fee is charged for each returned check.  You must work directly with Check Rite to avoid any additional fees. You may contact Check Rite at (800) 221-3207, or in Logan at (435) 752-2665.
  • A hold is placed on your transcript until the check and the fees have been paid.

Returned E-Checks

  • If your E-Check is returned by your bank for any reason, you must make payment again and include the assessed fee with your payment.
  • A $20 fee is charged for each returned e-check for insufficient funds. A $10 special processing fee will be assessed for each e-check returned for any other reason, which may include an incorrect, invalid, or missing account number or bank routing number.
  • Make payment again and include the insufficient funds or special processing fee.

Deferments and Payment Plans Explained

Tuition Installment Plan (TIP)
Tuition installment plans are available for students who are unable to make a full payment up front. There are multiple options available that will enable you to establish a payment plan to take care of tuition, housing, or a combination thereof. You may sign up for a payment plan online by logging into ACCESS. From there, you will be directed to a secure website to sign up for an installment plan.

Faculty/Staff Waivers
If you believe you qualify and do not see this waiver in your Account Summary by Term in ACCESS, contact the Registrar's Office in person IMMEDIATELY. If you are unsure if you qualify, you must visit the front counter staff or contact Personnel (Human Resources) for further directions.

Dependent Waivers
Similar to Faculty/Staff waivers, the person qualifying for this waiver must visit the Registrar's Office in person. This will assure that the waiver is in place and proper assessment is awarded. We thank you for your help in this matter.

Petition To Waive Surcharge
The Utah State Board of Regents policy mandates that students who take credit hours determined to be in excess of the degree program requirements are charged out-of-state tuition. The policy permits a student to petition for a waiver if the excessive credits are necessary for the completion of the student’s program of study. This petition is submitted, and if approved, will waive the nonresident tuition surcharge for credit hours determined to be in excess of the degree program requirements. Read more Information
