Frequently Asked Questions Regarding Tuition and Fee Payments

Can I pay my tuition bill with a credit card?

Yes, credit card payments can only be made via your E-SIMS account and will be processed by Lehman College's third party credit card processor. You will be charged a non-refundable convenience fee in addition to the tuition and fees. The College will not accept credit card payments directly at the bursar's window for the payment of tuition and fees.

Which credit cards are accepted?

MasterCard and Discover Card are accepted.

As a student, how do I pay online?

Log onto your E-SIMS account and select “Semester Bill” from the left hand side menu, click on the semester you wish to pay and, when you are ready to make your payment, click on the “Pay Now” tab at the bottom.

When will I get confirmation that the payment went through?

Once the payment transaction is completed, you will receive an e-mail confirmation at the address provided by the student or payee. All online payments are recorded into E-SIMS. Students are informed of credit card rejections immediately upon submission of the transaction.

Can someone else pay my tuition for me?

Yes, someone else can pay online for you; however, they must be able to access your E-SIMS account in order to do this. A personal visit to the Bursar Office, however, would require either written consent signed by the student with a copy of his/her ID or a Bursar Bill already signed by the student.

Will I get a receipt in the mail?

No, you will not receive a receipt in the mail. You will receive an e-mail confirmation after the payment is submitted. You can print a copy of your bill on E-SIMS.

I have registered for classes but have not received a bill. Can I make an online payment?

Yes, a student can make an online payment at any point after they register, up until their bill due date.
