The advance housing payment is $450 for the Fall 2013 semester.  If you withdraw from Syracuse University, your advance housing payment is fully refundable until June 1, 2013 (January 1, 2013 for spring applicants). After that date, your housing commitment is financially binding. Refunds are subject to penalties according to schedules stated in Tuition, Fees, and Related Policies, a publication available from Bursar Operations.

When completing the Admissions Acceptance Form, you will see options for submitting you advance payments.  The following forms of payment will be accepted:

• ACH - Electronic Funds Transfer from U.S. Bank Checking or Savings Account

• Credit Card or Debit Card

Using a secure online web connection and browser, you may use your credit or debit card to make a payment on your Bursar account.  You may use MasterCard or Discover credit cards, or debit cards with the MasterCard logo. 

IMPORTANT NOTICE: NelNet Business Solutions, an independent third party contractor that accepts tuition and other payments made using credit and debit cards, charges a non-refundable convenience fee of 2.7 % of the amount charged.  This fee is established and charged solely by NelNet Business Solutions, not by the University. The convenience fee is paid in full to and retained by NelNet Business Solutions; the University does not receive any of this fee.

• Paper Check

Please make the check payable to Syracuse University.  Write the Student Account Number (SUID) in the comment section of the check.

Checks must be drawn on a U.S. Bank.  Third party checks will not be accepted.   A $20.00 fee will be charged to your Bursar Account for each check that is returned due to Insufficient Funds.
