1. ePay through QuikPAY®
The QuikPAY® ePay service allows you and your authorized payers to make convenient and secure electronic payments from U.S. bank accounts and credit cards (American Express, Discover and MasterCard) via QuikPAY®. Note that there will be a 2.75% service fee for all credit card payments. You may make payments online regardless of whether you are receiving an electronic or paper bill. A payment receipt will automatically be provided. Payment records for the 9PAY plan and the regular invoice are kept separately, so there are two paths to QuikPAY®.
- To make a tuition & fees invoice payment through QuikPAY®: Students can access QuikPAY® through CAESAR (CAESAR > For Students > Financial Services > View eBill & ePay). Authorized payers can access QuikPAY® directly and make payments after a student has authorized them. See eBill for parents and authorized payers for more information about how to authorize.
- To make a 9PAY installment plan payment through QuikPAY®: Students can access QuikPAY® through CAESAR (CAESAR > For Students > Financial Services > Make 9PAY Payments).
