Payment Methods


The College of Charleston provides a variety of options for making a payment to your student account:

  • Electronic Checks:  Electronic Check payments are FREE!  You can make a payment using a valid checking or savings account on eBill. The payment is applied instantly to the student account.

  • Credit Card:  You can pay with a credit card via eBill. We accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express. A 2.95% non-refundable convenience fee will be assessed at the time of the transaction for most online transactions. (Please note that some debit cards have a daily transaction limit and will decline transactions over a designated dollar amount, regardless of the cardholder's available balance.)

  • Automatic Scheduled Payment Plan: The Payment Plans are only available for Fall and Spring semesters. Each payment plan lasts for one semester.  You have the option of choosing a new payment plan each eligible semester. Learn more about the Payment Plan
  • Mail: Checks and money orders mailed to:

    Treasurer's Office

    Please be sure to include the student's name and ID number on any mailed item.
    Returned Items: A check, electronic check, EFT, or credit card given in payment of College expenses that is returned unpaid by the bank creates a charge to the student's account. 

    Returned Paper Checks and eChecks: A $30 returned check fee will be charged for all returned checks.  Students with multiple returned checks will be placed on check restrictions and will no longer be allowed to present checks for payment.
