1. ePay through QuikPAY®
The QuikPAY® ePay service allows students and their guests to make convenient and secure electronic payments from bank accounts located in the U.S. and credit cards. Credit cards accepted by Northwestern are American Express, Discover, MasterCard and VISA. Note that while there will be a 2.75% service fee for all credit card payments, there is no service fee for eCheck 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 newly admitted student deposits, the 9PAY plan and the tuition and fees invoice are kept separately, so there are three paths for payments.
