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.
