Frequently Asked Questions:

What is electronic billing?

Electronic billing (e-billing) is a convenient, effective, and reliable alternative to sending paper tuition bills. An e-mail notification is sent to your official 国产哟哟 account when an e-bill is available for viewing. You can also authorize others to view the e-bill and make an online payment on your behalf. Each authorized person can receive an e-mail notification when a new e-bill is generated if they provide a current e-mail address.

Is there a fee for paying online?

If paying by e-check, or utilizing ACH through your checking or savings account, there is no charge. Be sure that you follow the instructions carefully and properly input your bank’s routing number and account number. Returned electronic checks are treated the same as a paper check. The student account will be charged a fee if your check is returned. Credit and debit card payments made via the Transact portal will carry a 2.75% processing fee.

What types of payments are accepted?

The University accepts cash, credit, personal checks, or money orders. Checks can be mailed directly to Student Account Services by using the payment mailing address provided on the last page of each statement. E-check (ACH) and credit card payments can be made online through the Transact site. Transact accepts MasterCard, Visa, Discover, and American Express.

What is e-check or ACH?

The University allows students and other designated individuals to make payment with e-check through the Transact site. There is no service charge for making a payment with an e-check. Payment with an e-check will create an ACH transaction to your checking or savings account. A payment processed as an e-check without available funds or with a cancellation of funds will result in a $25.00 fee.

Can I use my debit card to pay my bill?

You may use any debit card with a Visa or MasterCard logo to pay your bill. Please note, it will be processed as a credit card and you will incur a 2.75% processing fee. Also, keep in mind daily limits may prevent your card from being approved.

How do new students set up and access online billing and payment plans?

Each new student is assigned a student ID and e-mail account. Once these are assigned, the new student will need to log into the BPU Community Portal and follow the Transact link under the Students tab. Please note that the University e-mail is the official notification for e-bills. If you have trouble with your e-mail, please contact the Student Financial Services Office at (413) 565-1256 or via email at sfs@baypath.edu for assistance.

How can I determine my account balance without having to call the Student Financial Services Office?

You can find current account balance information by logging in to the BPU Community Portal and under the Students tab, click the Transact link.

If my E-bill shows a zero ($0.00) amount due or a zero ($0.00) amount estimated after factoring in pending financial aid, do I need to do anything?

No, you do not need to send a payment if the amount due is $0.00. Please be advised that any change to the pending financial aid may reflect a change in the amount due.

Who do I contact if I have questions regarding e-billing or e-payment?

You may contact Student Financial Services for questions regarding e-billing and e-payment at 413.565.1256 or via e-mail at sfs@baypath.edu.
