- Payment may be made through the online system via e-check (electronic check) or credit card (VISA, MC, Discover, AMEX, & Diners Club). A non-refundable service charge of 2.85% will be added for all debit and credit card transactions. A combination of payment methods may be used. *Payments coming directly from a regular checking or savings account should be processed via e-check (requires routing number and account number) to avoid the non-refundable service charge of 2.85%.
- Payments are also accepted by personal check, bank check, money order, wire transfer or e-check (electronic check). Cash payments must be delivered in person and are accepted at the Durham campus only.
- E-checks through the online system are only accepted in U.S. dollars, from U.S. financial institutions. (See International Payments below for alternative payment options for international students.)
- Checks drawn on foreign banking institutions must be printed/written in US dollars. Checks drawn on international banking institutions may not post to the student account until the exchange rate is determined (this can take up to 5 business days).
- Scholarship checks made payable to the student must be endorsed by the student and made payable to UNH. Check Signing Tutorial
- Student Accounts may process paper checks electronically, as an e-check.
- If any account overpayment occurs, credit card transactions will be refunded prior to any other type of refund in accordance with credit card regulations.
- With the exception of financial aid, payments are applied to the oldest charge first.
- Cash or cash equivalents totaling more than $10,000 per calendar year must be reported to the IRS. This reporting requires that we collect a copy of a government issued photo ID, and SSN/TIN.

Sponsorships that specify completion of coursework prior to payment are not accepted. If a company or agency has a reimbursement-to-student policy, the student is responsible for paying the total charges to UNH at the time of registration.
Please see our Account Changes page for instructions on 3rd Party Payments. Students with company/agency sponsorship should be aware and have agreed that the University will release relevant student account information to the sponsorship provider.

Parents may apply for a federal parent PLUS loan. Applications should be completed and submitted on studentaid.gov as soon as possible before the payment due date. For more information see Direct PLUS Loan for Parents.
Alternative Loans
Students may apply for alternative loans offered by some banks. Alternative loans are private, non-federal student loans. Most require co-signers. Applications should be completed and submitted to lenders as soon as possible before the payment due date. Information about alternative loan options may be found on the UNH Financial Aid website.
Returned Check Policy
Checks, both electronic and paper, returned for nonpayment are assessed a $30 return-check charge by UNH. This is in addition to any fees your banking institution may charge. A bank check, money order, or cash must be used to replace a returned check. If two or more checks are returned for non-sufficient funds, the University will be unable to accept future personal checks for the student account.
