Paying Tuition

ONLINE PAYMENT METHODS:
- ACH/ECHECK: If your financial institution supports it, you can pay using an electronic check (ACH/eCheck). You will need your US checking account number and financial institution routing number. This is not the same as your debit card number. If you are using a savings account or a 529 savings account, please contact your financial institution first as those accounts have restrictions. There are no processing fees in the payment portal for ACH/eCheck transactions; pay online with no extra fee by selecting the ACH/eCheck option. Fees will apply if your payment fails, such as when there are insufficient funds or you provide incorrect routing or bank account numbers.
- DEBIT OR CREDIT CARDS: Processing fees will apply to all transactions. This fee represents the cost of processing credit cards and is not retained by HPU.
- BEFORE JULY 5TH, 2023: The processing fee is 2.75% for all domestic credit or debit cards or 4.25% for all international credit cards. Please note that some international cards cannot be accepted.
