Billing and Making Payments

Registration: Your Responsibilities

Registration at SPU is done in the Banner Information System, and is considered a contract between you and the University. After you register, you are obligated to pay for the contracted services in accordance with the University’s current schedule of charges. Your registration contract with SPU remains binding to both parties unless either party provides proper written notification (also see Refunds and Account Adjustments in Payment Policies and Services).

Student Account Statements

Statements are available online each month. You will receive an email to your SPU email address when they are posted online (by the fourth week of each month). The statement will display all charges and payments since the last statement, and the current amount due. To have a copy of your statement sent to someone else, such as your parents, you must set up an authorization (See Granting Access to Your Account in Additional Services and Advice in Banner).

It remains your responsibility to ensure that proper payment reaches SFS by the payment due date. If you need assistance determining the proper amount due, contact SFS and speak with a representative.

Payment Methods

You may choose to make your payments in one of three ways: by mail, in person, or online.

1. Mail. You and your family or other payer may mail payments via check to the following address:

Student Financial Services
Seattle Pacific University
3307 Third Avenue West, Suite 114
Seattle, Washington 98119-1922

Make the checks payable to Seattle Pacific University, and remember to write your student ID number on the memo line of the check. Failure to do so may result in processing delays.

2. In-Person/Drop Box. You and your family may visit SFS during business hours to submit payments in person; we are able to accept check or cash payments.

Remember to note your student ID number on checks. If you are not able to visit us during regular business hours, payments made by check may be left in the locked drop box, which is located at the north entrance (facing Emerson Hall).

3. Online. You and your authorized payers (payers you designate) may visit QuikPay to make online payments. Payments can be made by e-check or credit card. The three accepted credit cards are MasterCard, American Express, and Discover; a 2.75 percent fee of the payment amount applies for this service. There is no fee for e-check payments.

Allow one business day for processing. Information about making e-check or credit card payments and authorized payer service can be found in Online Payments on the SFS web pages.
