Making Payments in Transact

How to make a payment using Transact:

After logging into Transact, click “Make a Payment.” Enter the appropriate amount and select “Continue.” Follow the steps as instructed.

  • Electronic check/ACH: Paying with your checking account is a no-fee option for paying online. To take advantage of this, select “New bank account” in the payment method drop-down box.
  • Debit or credit card: Transact will allow payments to be made with a debit or credit card, however, a fee of 2.95% will be assessed.
  • International Payments: To make an international payment, choose “Make a Payment,” type in the appropriate amount, click “Checkout,” then select “International payment” in the payment methods drop-down window. This will walk you through the necessary steps to complete your payment.

Please note: If you have made a payment by credit card, we cannot refund that payment to a checking or savings account. Credit card refunds must be returned back to the original credit card it was paid from.

Paying by paper check:

We still accept payments via check - please remember to put the student’s name and ID number in the memo line. We do encourage payment with your checking account electronically on Transact however, as this eliminates the extra time of mailing and manually applying the check to your payment plan.

How to pay an undergraduate student deposit through Transact:

Transact provides the option of paying several types of deposits online, including Pre-Registration and Housing deposits for the upcoming academic year, and Global Education deposits. Once logged in, choose "Make a Payment" then choose “Deposits.” This will bring you to a list of deposits; select the appropriate one to add to your payment. Click "Add more" if you are paying multiple deposits.

Enrolling in & Adjusting Payment Plans

How to enroll in a payment plan:

On the "Overview" page of Transact under “Payment plans”, click on “View payment plan options” and a list of plans will appear to your right. Choose the appropriate option, and then click “Enroll in plan”. Review the payment schedule, terms and conditions.
Undergraduate payment plans: If you know you wish to be enrolled in a payment plan, it is important to enroll before the semester’s first payment due date. Doing so will ensure an accurate division of payments, and payment will not be required at the time of enrollment. If you encounter any issues in the enrollment process, please contact our office at [email protected].
Graduate payment plans: Please note that the amount to be financed can be larger than the current balance on your account if you have not yet been billed for all courses.

How to adjust the amount of your payment plan:

On the "Overview" page of Transact under “Payment plans”, click on the link to the plan you are currently enrolled in and a panel showing your plan details will pop up on the right-hand side. From there, you can click on "Edit Amount" and type in the new "Remaining plan amount". You can access this button right next to your payment schedule, or by clicking on the menu with the three dots at the very top of the panel.
