Paying tuition - checks only?

<p>I went to pay my d's bill this morning and it said it didn't take credit cards. I had to put it on an echeck. Had to leave the room and hunt for my checkbook because I don't write checks that often anymore. I guess that kind of surprised me. :)</p>

<p>Is it just that way for authorized payers or do students have to pay with a check, too?</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure that is for everyone. I think you could do an electronic bank transfer with a savings account instead of a checking account (not positive) but I know you cannot use a credit card at all.</p>

<p>Thanks, IUmom7. </p>

<p>I have 3 children (my d is the youngest) and they’ve each gone to a different college. Each college has had different forms of payment that they would/would not accept. I’ve learned to be flexible. :)</p>
