Making Payments

We accept a wide variety of payments at KU. We offer a payment plan and work closely with Financial Aid Services on campus.  Below find our online payment options, office payment options and how to make a payment.

Current News:

Credit Card processing fee increase effective May 5, 2025 from 2.85% to 3.0%.

  • NOTE - Payment Plans set up before May 5, 2025 with the auto payment feature using a credit card will retain the lower rate for the life of that plan - in good standing.

Parking Ticket / Permit Payments are no longer on the student account! 

  • These should be paid via MyKU > Self Service > Vehicle Services

Online Payment Tips

  • Phones are not secure enough in most cases - try a tablet or computer
  • ALWAYS allow pop-ups from the site as the payment windows are pop-ups

Mailing Payment Tips

  • Allow at least 2 weeks for mail and processing time

Payment Dashboard

The Payment Dashboard is the hub of all payments, bill/statements and payment plans.

MyKU uses a Payment Dashboard for billing, payments, plans and more!

authorized users

Students can choose to add authorized users to their Payment Dashboard.  These users will be emailed a log in and password to a special dedicated version of the students Payment Dashboard.  These users will be able to see statements, pay bills, and set up payment plans.

This link is for Authorized Users only: https://secure.touchnet.net/C20841_tsa/web/login.jsp

HINT: Do not include the brackets with the initial password and be careful to not grab an extra space with the password if copying.

    Online Payment Methods

    We have two different methods to pay online through MyKU and one international payment method online.

    E‐check / Webcheck

    This is the preferred payment method for most of our students. This is an Electronic Check / Automated Clearing House [ACH] debit from a US bank checking or savings account - not a debit card payment.  Posts rigth away but funds transfer in 1-3 business days.

    • Required items:
      • US issued Bank Account number
      • US issued Bank Routing number - 9 digits
    • Check with your bank if you are not sure if you should include preceding zeros.  We also encourage this if using a money market account or line of credit.  They may require you to select checking OR savings - we cannot advise on that.
    • The funds will be requested and debited within 1‐3 business days.
    • While this option is a free payment option, if the bank cannot locate your account (digits in wrong order or missing, choosing checking instead of savings or vice versa, as this process is totally automated and your bank will not be able to look for your account or assist in this processing) or there are insufficient funds to cover the request, we do have a Returned Deposited Item fee of $25.00.
    • We encourage you to enter these bank figures very carefully.

    Credit Cards

    We accept Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and American Express online only. These transactions can only be processed online in the Payment Dashboard (not in person or over the phone).

    • For US-based Credit Cards - there is a non‐refundable 2.85 percent* processing/convenience fee assessed and retained by our credit card processor.  There is a minimum fee of $3.00 for any credit card transaction.
        • *RATE INCREASE - Effective May 5, 2025 the non-refundable processing fee will be 3.0%.  Payment Plans setup before May 5th, with auto payments set up using a credit card will retain the lower rate for the life of the plan in good standing.
    • For Foreign Credit Cards - there is a non-refundable 4.50 percent* processing/convenience fee assessed and retained by our credit card processor with a minimum fee as well.
    • We cannot accept credit cards over the phone or in person.

    Flywire

    Flywire is a partner of Kutztown University to allow our international students to pay with their own foreign currency.  This payment option is only for foreign currency payments.  Kutztown University is unable to receive any foreign direct wires.

    Miscellaneous Payment - Mall Access

    Kutztown University has a mall where many miscellaneous items can be found to purchase such as academic department functions, events, Bear Bucks and more!

    We accept checks, money orders, certified funds and cash in our office (sorry credit cards must be processed online only).
