International Student Bill Payment Options & Procedures

Methods for Bill Payment

• Wire Transfer

  Many students choose to pay their college bill using wire transfer. The following guidelines and limitations apply to these transactions:

  • Wire transfers will only be accepted for admission deposits, charges billed directly by SUNY Plattsburgh, and charges authorized by the student for payment for other educationally-related activities. This includes but is not limited to: tuition; admission deposit; mandatory and approved optional fees; health insurance fees; campus housing charges; meal plan charges; and student authorizations to pay other educational programs or institutions.
  • As a security measure and aligning with recommended banking practices, wire transfers above $1,000 of the balance due will not be refunded to the student.
  • If a credit occurs due to a payment received in excess of the bill balance, SUNY Plattsburgh reserves the right to apply these funds to future charges for the next applicable bill.
  • When there is no future applicable semester and a credit exists, SUNY Plattsburgh reserves the right to return the credit to the originating account or originating vendor who can transact the return.
  • Funds intended for a student for personal expenses should be wired directly to the student’s personal bank account.

  • Four installments (one quarter of the net amount due by the bill due date and the remaining balance due in three equal payments in the subsequent 3 months)
