  • As you enter the online payment software the student will recieve a notice (please wait while we load your information). This may take longer than expected as the link collects your information.


Setting Up 'My Profile'

Set up personalized information in the 'My Profile' link in the toolbar.

  1. Personal Profile: The student will receive an email notification once the student has authorized an online payment. The notification will be automatically emailed to the student's NDSU email address. An alternative email address may be set up in 'Personal Profile'. If this alternative email address is added, the automatic notifications will be sent to both email addresses.

  2. Payment Profile: A checking or savings account profile may be saved for future payment transactions. This payment profile can be modified or deleted by the student. A payment method profile is not available for credit cards.
