Make a Payment
How do I make a payment?
Georgetown’s preferred method of payment is the electronic check. To pay via eCheck, you will first need to establish an electronic payment method. Once this has been completed, you can make a payment online by the following (authorized users (new window) may skip to step 5 below):
- Log in to GU Experience.
- Click on ‘Open Student Accounts Dashboard’
- Click on the ‘Student Account Services’ link. (This will take you to our secure payment gateway and you may be prompted to enter your NetID login credentials)
- You will next see a row of tabs just under the Georgetown header. Click on ‘Make Payment’
- You will see the current account balance populated. However, you can pay a different dollar amount: input the dollar amount you wish to pay, then click ‘Add’, and click ‘Continue’ to proceed.
- Select a saved payment method from the pull-down menu or enter the required information for a new payment method and click on the button labeled ‘Select’. Note: Credit Card payments are processed through PayPath, which will launch in a separate window upon clicking ‘Continue to PayPath’ and will allow you to enter the credit card information. Electronic Check payments require confirmation of terms in the ACH Agreement
- Review the details of the payment. If you are satisfied, click on ‘Submit Payment’. You will receive an email confirmation of your payment shortly after submission. Your student account will reflect the payment immediately
- All payments made online will post to the current term, regardless of the term of the charges in question
What payment methods are accepted?

International Transfer Payments: Visit the Flywire website and follow the prompts there to obtain instructions on how to execute the transfer. You must follow the instructions and complete the transaction with your financial institution for the payment to be properly sent and credited to your account. You will be able to review the status of your payment via the Flywire site. Payments of this sort will be posted to the student’s account 2 business days after being noted as “Delivered” by Flywire.
International students and their benefactors with foreign bank accounts denominated in US dollars should note that a traditional wire payment is likely the least costly method.
