Pay Online

Payment for tuition and fees can be made online through the North Carolina A&T State University online payment system. Students must have their student identification (Banner) number and PIN to utilize the online student payment system. Students may also grant access to their parents or guardians as authorized users so that they can make payments on your student account.  

Online Credit Card Payments 

Tuition and fee payments may be made online through the North Carolina A&T State University Online Student Payment System. This secure payment system accepts American Express, Discover, MasterCard, and Visa credit or debit cards. Please note that all credit and debit card transactions are subject to a 3% convenience fee, with a minimum fee of $3.00. 

Students must log in using their OneID and password to access the Online Student Payment System. Students may also grant parents, guardians, or other individuals access as Authorized Users, allowing them to make payments on the student’s behalf. 

Online Check Payments

The University also accepts online check payments (E-Checks) through the Online Student Payment System. This service allows students and Authorized Users to submit payments directly from a checking or savings account at no additional cost. 

The University’s returned check policy applies to electronic check payments in the same manner as paper checks. 

 

Returned Checks and Electronic Payments

If a check or electronic (ACH/eCheck) payment is returned by your financial institution, the returned payment amount will be charged back to your student account. Additional returned-payment fees may also apply.  

When an electronic payment is returned, the bank account and routing number combination associated with the returned payment may be restricted from future use. This means the same banking information may no longer be used to make electronic payments or receive refunds by direct deposit.  If a refund is due and the banking information on file is restricted, the refund may be issued by paper check, even if previous refunds were received by direct deposit.  

Students with multiple returned payments may lose ACH/eCheck privileges altogether. If ACH/eCheck privileges are restricted at the student level, ACH will no longer be available as a payment or refund option, and any eligible refunds will be issued by paper check.
Students are notified when a payment is returned and are responsible for resolving any resulting balance on their student account.

Enhanced Authentication
As part of the University’s ongoing efforts to combat fraud, maintain a high level of security, and protect personal information, multi-factor authentication (MFA) is required for the Online Student Payment System. MFA is one of the most effective ways to help verify the identity of individuals accessing student account information.

Users will be required to verify their identity using a one-time password delivered through email, SMS text message, or a mobile authentication application each time they log in. Users who do not already have a security profile will be prompted to create one and enroll in MFA during the login process. MFA Troubleshooting > 

Pay by Mail

Payments sent through the mail must be received by the university prior to the due date in order to secure one’s classes. 

Check/Money Order Payments 

Tuition and fees can be paid by personal check, certified check, cashier's check or money order. All checks and money orders must be made payable to North Carolina A&T State University and also include the student's name and student identification (Banner) number. We do not accept counter checks or starter checks.

To ensure timely and accurate processing, all wire transfers must include the student’s full name and Banner ID number. Wire transfer payments are not considered complete until funds have been received by the University and applied to the student account. 

Please allow additional processing time for wire transfer payments to appear on the student account. Processing times may vary depending on the submitting financial institution and the timing of receipt. 

Students with third party sponsorships, military tuition assistance, embassy sponsorships, or other approved external funding arrangements may be required to provide additional supporting documentation prior to payment processing.

Former students may continue to access certain student account and payment information through the Online Student Payment portal for a limited period after enrollment ends. Additional identity verification and cybersecurity measures may be required once a student is no longer considered actively enrolled by the University. 

Former students who are unable to access their account online, need assistance obtaining prior billing statements, or wish to make a payment toward an outstanding balance should contact the Treasurer’s Office for assistance regarding available account access and payment options.

Students are responsible for ensuring tuition and fees are satisfied by the published payment due date each semester to avoid registration holds or cancellation of classes for nonpayment. 

Students may review their current account balance, payment activity, financial aid, and anticipated funding through Aggie Access and the Online Student Payment portal. A student is generally considered financially cleared once the account balance has been paid in full or sufficient authorized financial aid, scholarships, sponsorships, or other approved funding sources are available to satisfy the balance. 

Please note that certain payment methods, including mailed payments, wire transfers, third party sponsorships, and external scholarship payments, may require additional processing time before appearing on the student account. 

Students with questions regarding payment status, anticipated funding, or financial clearance should contact the Treasurer’s Office for assistance.
