Students who wish to pay by credit card or e-check are required to sign into the University database CardinalPay in order to complete the payment.  The information needed to log-in to CardinalPay (username and password) will be provided after the student has registered and/or on the first day of the class.  Students may pay by cash or check prior to or on the first day of class without logging into CardinalPay.  There is a 2.75% service fee for credit card payments. There is no charge to pay by e-check, check, or cash.  Also, the University does NOT accept Visa.  We do accept MasterCard, Discover and American Express.

The University does not send bills in the mail. Instead, students receive bills online via e-mail ONLY.  Online bills are sent to a Catholic University email address (generated at the time of registration). In order to have the online bills come to a personal or work e-mail account instead of the University e-mail account, the student must log-in to CardinalPay using his/her assigned username and password, and then add the information regarding personal and/or work email addresses.  Directions on how to do this will be provided on the 1st day of class and are available at http://treasurer.cua.edu/controller/sa/CardinalPay/.

If the PDWI office receives a notice of a returned check or declined credit card, the student will be notified immediately.  Students are expected to provide appropriate payment, and may be asked to pay cash if alternative arrangements cannot be made.  Students will not receive their transcripts and will not be allowed to register for additional courses until payment has been made.  Students are responsible for maintaining their student accounts in good standing.  For any questions regarding your student account, please contact the PDWI office.
