Making Payments

E-Check

One of the best features of E-Billing is the ability to make payments, simply and securely, from one website. To make an online payment via E-Check, simply click "Make Payment" on the left-hand navigation bar of the E-Billing site. E-Check is an online, automated way to debit a checking or savings account directly. Simply follow the directions on the "Make Payment" screen on the E-Billing site. Each time an online payment is made by the student or an Authorized Payer, an email with a confirmation number will be sent, usually within one business day. Any payment made by 3PM EST will be credited to the student account the next business day.

To view a record of online payments made to your account, click on "Payment History" on the left-hand navigation bar. If you are an Authorized Payer, you will only be able to view the online payments that you have made.

Personal Check or Money Order

To pay by personal check or money order, print the bill by clicking the PDF icon on the "View Accounts" screen, cut off the top portion of the statement, and mail the payment and statement stub to the address on the PDF:

Columbia University

P.O. Box 1385

New York, NY 10008-1385

Non-U.S. Banks and Currency

Please note that E-Checks can only draw on U.S. funds from domestic banks. The preferred method of payment for students from outside the U.S. is to wire payments to Columbia. For more information on making wire payments, please see the Payment Methods section of the SFS website.
