eBilling

All student billing and payments are managed electronically through the Touchnet eBilling system. An electronic account statement (eBill) is generated monthly throughout the year, detailing the charges and credits for that billing period and indicating the amount currently due and payable. Monthly eBills are presented electronically through the Touchnet eBilling system.

St. Thomas eBills may be paid online through electronic funds transfer, or via check, money order or cashier's check. Payments made through electronic funds transfers are called ePayments, which include ACH transfers from a U.S.-based checking or savings account, and payment card transactions which are accepted through a third-party application called PayPath. There is a convenience fee charged by PayPath of 2.95% (minimum $3.00) for domestic payment card transactions; international payment card transactions are subject to a 4.25% (minimum $3.00) fee.
