STUDENT FINANCIAL SERVICES
Tuition Payments
Payment Online
Payment can be made on-line via MyFau ( https://myfau.fau.edu) We accept MasterCard, Discover, and American Express. Payment may also be made on-line by using a personal checking/savings account “WEB CHECK.”
You may encounter difficulty in completing your transaction especially during peak periods, as with any on-line payment system. We do not recommend that you wait until the tuition payment deadline to attempt to make your payment. The University’s on-line system is available well beyond the traditional business office hours for your convenience.
Payment via Drop Box
All campus locations except Downtown Fort Lauderdale, provide the convenience of a drop box. If you know the amount of fees due, you are encouraged to put your check in the drop box to avoid waiting in line. Payments made by close of business on the deadline will be considered on time. Please make the check payable to Florida Atlantic University and include your student ID number, name, address and telephone number on your check; checks must be made out correctly to be considered on time. No envelopes are required.
NOTE: By depositing your check payment in the Drop Box, you are authorizing FAU to electronically process your check. The electronic debit to your checking account may be on the same day as your check payment is processed.
Payment in Person
Our cashiers are available 8:30 am to 5:00 pm Monday through Friday. Cashiers may accept payments by cash, personal checks, money orders, cashier’s checks, and debit cards (any type).
Payment by Mail
Payments by check may be made through the mail, addressed to FAU, Cashier’s Office, Student Support Services-Bldg 80, 777 Glades Road, Boca Raton, FL 33431. Please make the check payable to Florida Atlantic University and include your student ID number, name, address and telephone number on your check; checks must be made out correctly to be considered on time. Payments postmarked by the last day to pay for each semester will be considered on time; therefore, no late fees will be assessed to your student account for this reason.
NOTE: By remitting your check payment by mail, you are authorizing FAU to electronically process your check. The electronic debit to your checking account may be on the same day as your check payment is processed.
Payment by Electronic Funds Transfer
It is imperative that you are as detailed as possible; the wire should provide enough information so that we can clearly identify the intended recipient and post the payment to the appropriate student account. For more information please see our WIRE TRANSFER INFORMATION page.
