Students must grant access to authorized users, within the Student Account Payment Portal, before authorized users (including parents) can view or make payments to the student's account. Students use their Southern Adventist University user name and password to access the Payment Portal. In addition, students and/or authorized users can make payments in person or by mail (not recommended).
Southern Adventist University honors VISA, MasterCard, Discover, American Express and debit cards for making payments on a student's account. No cash withdrawal service is available from these cards (this service may be obtained from a local bank). Automatic credit card payments can be setup when the student and/or authorized user enrolls in a payment plan. Payment via electronic check can be made online at southern.edu/payment.
Payments made to a student's account through mail or in person by personal check should have the student's 6-digit ID number written on the check. If the ID number is not written on the check when it is received, it will be written on the check by a Southern Adventist University employee for posting purposes.
If a check is returned by a bank for insufficient funds, a closed account, or any other reason, a $25 returned check fee will be assessed to the student's account. The privilege of paying by check for any future payments may be forfeited.
