1. What is changing beginning August 1, 2007?
The University will not accept credit and debit cards payments directly for payment of tuition, fees, room and board, which appear on the student billing statement. Credit card payments can only be made through the Sallie May/Lewis Payment Gateway.
Sallie Mae will charge a fee for this service.
Credit card payment cannot be made through the mail, by person or over the phone.
2. How has the fee for using the credit card been determined?
That rate was determined by our vendor, Sallie Mae. The University is not accepting credit card payments directly; they are being accepted by our vendor who is charging a fee for the service.
3. Are other college and universities making similar changes?
Many colleges and universities are not accepting credit card payments at all, but Lewis University searched for alternative options that would permit credit card payments.
4. Can I use any type of check as an ACH payment?
No, only checks from a regular checking and savings accounts are accepted. Checks issued from credit card companies, money market accounts, home equity or other lines of credit cannot be processed as an ACH payment. However, you can mail those checks. Please, make sure you send your payment in the envelope we provide and include the Remittance Form from the top of your student schedule/invoice. Please write the student's nine (9) digit identification number on the check.
