Paying Your Bill

The Office of the Bursar offers several payment options:

Electronic payments via Cashnet
Monthly payments with the Cornell Installment Plan
Wire transfers
Check payments by mail
Third-party billing (for sponsored students) and college savings plans

Cash payments are not accepted.

Online

Students and other users/payers may pay the Bursar bill online via their Cashnet account. Payers not enrolled in Cashnet may pay the bursar bill electronically via Cashnet's Payment Without Bill Presentment.

By Mail

We strongly encourage paying your bill on line via Cashnet, not only for the ease and security it offers, but to support Cornell's sustainability efforts.

Make your check or money order payable to Cornell University, include the student's seven-digit ID, specify the amount you want to pay to each account (Bursar and CornellCard), and mail it to this address:

Office of the Bursar
260 Day Hall
Ithaca, NY 14853-2801

Outside scholarship checks should be mailed to the Office of Financial Aid and Student Employment, Scholarship Division, P.O. Box 752, Ithaca, NY 14851. For more information, see the Financial Aid website.

Full payment of your student bill is due by the date indicated on your statement. You are responsible for paying any amounts not covered by financial aid or outside sources. A late-payment penalty of 1.25% of any past-due balances will be assessed. A past-due balance may result in your student account being placed on financial hold, which restricts future enrollment and receipt of diplomas.
