Student Accounts – Payments
Cash App is NOT an accepted form of payment.
Chime is accepted, but be aware that payments made by Chime are NOT immediately withdrawn from your Chime account. Chime is not a bank account, but they have ACH capability through a third-party bank; this is why payments are not immediately withdrawn from your Chime Account.
Account payments accepted are cash (in person only), certified and personal checks, and all major credit/debit cards.
Accepted credit/debit cards include:
Credit and debit card payments MUST be made online via TouchNet. All credit/debit card payments will be charged an additional service fee by PayPath (the credit card processor). Domestic cards are 2.99%, international cards are 4.25%, and a minimum of $3.00.
Please contact your banking institution to ensure your available daily spending limit is high enough to cover the payment amount.
Electronic checks(checking/savings) payments are accepted online via TouchNet without additional service fees.
ACH PAYMENTS are NOT immediately deducted from your bank account. It may take up to 7 business days for the payment to be deducted from your bank account by your banking institution. Please ensure that the funds are available in your bank account until they are withdrawn to prevent the payment from being returned as non-sufficient funds.
Mail-in payments should be addressed to:
University of Maryland Eastern Shore
Office of Student Accounts
SDC Building, Suite 1160
Princess Anne, MD 21853
An enrollment hold will be assessed to the student account preventing any future enrollment until payments are up to date.
Electronic and personal checks are accepted, but if returned for non-sufficient funds (NSF), the check amount will be charged back to the student’s account with a $35.00 penalty.
A BPC indicator may be assessed to the student account, preventing future payments with a checking or savings account.
TouchNet and the University reserve the right to block saved payment methods due to payment returns for Non-Sufficient Funds (NSF). The saved payment method will be blocked because the payment processor has flagged the payment account as high-risk to prevent repeated failed transactions and additional return fees. To have the payment method reset you must pay the account balance in full using a different payment method and request to have your initial saved payment method reset.
Saved Payment Account Update: Saved payment accounts must be updated when the current saved payment account is unable to be used to process payments. This is usually due to insufficient funds or incorrect account information. If the saved payment account isn’t updated, the current payment account will be used for the next month’s automatic deduction and may result in addition return fees.
The student’s name and account number must be indicated on a check sent for payment of charges on a student account. In-person account payments should be presented to the University Cashier, located on the first floor of the Student Development Center. The hours of operation for the University Cashier are Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
