USBS Policies & Other Information
Payment by Check
Please allow 5-7 days for processing any checks mailed to the University & Student Business Services Office. Registration fee payments must be received by the University & Student Business Services Office by the appropriate fee payment due date, regardless of postmark date.
The University of Memphis processes paper checks electronically. When you provide a check as payment (in-person, by mail, or through our drop box) you authorize the use of information from your check to make a one-time electronic funds transfer from your account. In certain circumstances, such as for technical or processing reasons, we may process your check as a check transaction. For your reconciliation purposes, these checks will appear on your monthly bank statement as an Electronic Debit.
When payment by eCheck you will receive an email stating that your payment request has been received once the process is complete. Until the payment has been deemed as paid and satisfied, your payment is not considered complete. If a paper/electronic check or credit card payment used to satisfy enrollment fees is returned for non-payment by your financial institution, you will be assessed a $30 returned check fee and may be assessed a $200 Late Fee, and your registration may be subject to cancellation.
Payment by Debit/Credit Card
All payments that are remitted via Debit/Credit Card will be subject to a 2.85% (minimum of $3.00) non-refundable processing fee. This fee is being assessed by TouchNet at the point of payment. To avoid any processing fee, please consider using an Ach eCheck payment.
