All GVSU Student Account credit card payments are processed through CORE Business Technologies. CORE assesses a non-refundable 1% fee on the total credit card transaction. This fee structure reflects a fair distribution of the cost sharing of credit card transactions fees with the University for card holders that take advantage of this convenient payment method. Most higher education institutions pass the entire cost of this credit card fee to the customer but GVSU does not. We accept Visa, Mastercard, and Discover. Financial Aid and tuition refunds will be refunded back to the credit card that was used to pay on the account.
All electronic checks are not assessed a processing fee. You will need your routing number and account number from your checking or savings account. We are unable to take electronic check payments over the phone. All payments that are returned by the bank are subject to a $20 returned check fee. Returned payments made towards tuition or a past semester charge could result in class cancellation if not paid in a timely manner. If a check is returned for insufficient funds we may present it to the bank electronically.
You may pay by check or money order at any GVSU Student Assistance Center. All payments that are returned by the bank are subject to a $20 returned check fee. Returned payments made towards tuition or a past semester charge could result in class cancellation if not paid in a timely manner. If a check is returned for insufficient funds we may present it to the bank electronically.
Due to COVID-19 and the slow down in USPS delivery, we encourage everyone to make their payments online.

How do you request MESP/529 Plan funds in order to make a payment onto a student account?
The parent/guardian who owns the fund would contact the institution that handles their plan and give them this information:
GVSU Student Accounts Office
1049 JHZ, 1 Campus Drive
Allendale MI, 49401
How are MESP/529 Plan payments made to Grand Valley?
The funds are sent by check in the US mail. Grand Valley does not accept wire transfers.
The parent/guardian who owns the plan can either request the check be sent directly to Grand Valley using the mailing address for Student Accounts listed above or the parent/guardian can request the check be sent to them and then the parent/guardian can make a personal payment to GVSU.
How long does it take for Grand Valley to receive an MESP/529 Plan payment?
It can take up to 12 business days for Grand Valley to receive the check payment in the mail. It is advised that the funds be requested early enough in advance so that they can be processed by the payment deadline to prevent the student’s classes from being dropped. If there is an amount still due on the account after the MESP/529 payment has been processed, then that amount must either be paid in full by the payment deadline or on a deferment plan with the first 25% of the balance being paid by the payment deadline.
What happens if there is a credit on a student’s account due to an overpayment from an MESP/529 Plan payment?
If there is an overpayment on the student’s account, that credit can be used towards buying textbooks or school supplies at GVSU’s Laker Store. The remaining credit balance will be refunded back to the student starting the second week of the semester. The refund will either be sent as a check to the student’s permanent address or sent to a direct deposit account that was set up in the student’s MyBanner account.
Any charges unpaid by the statement due date will result in a hold on your account and and prevent registration activity. Late fees in the amount of 1% will be assessed each month on the past due balance. Delinquent accounts will be sent to a collection agency and will be placed on your credit report. You will be responsible to pay all late fees, costs of any collection agency, which may be based on a percentage at a maximum of 35% of the debt, and all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney's fees we incur in such collection efforts. All payments that are returned by the bank are subject to a $20 returned check fee. Returned payments made towards tuition or a past semester charge could result in class cancellation if not paid in a timely manner. If a check is returned for insufficient funds we may present it to the bank electronically.
As a state chartered University there is no statute of limitations on what is owed to Grand Valley State University.
