About Net.Pay

Benefits of using Net.Pay

• Schedule your payment to occur immediately or at a date in the near future
• Perfect for when you will be away when the bill is due!
• Keep your statements online for 12 months following enrollment
• Conserve the use of paper. Paper bills will no longer be mailed to your billing address
• Convenient e-mail reminders when your new bill becomes available
• Receive e-mail confirmation of each payment you make

How Does Net.Pay Work?

• Students first must create a user name and password to grant access to parents or other payers
• Students invite other payers via Net.Pay by entering the payer's e-mail address
• The payer will receive an e-mail from Net.Pay with a PIN number
• Secondary payers will then use the PIN number to sign up for their own account
• Each user will be able to access the Net.Pay account using their own user names and passwords
• Banking information is separate and secure

NOTE: Students should notify those who might be responsible for paying the students bills.  Cornell will not be responsible for finance charges incurred due to non-payment.  You may still access your account details using Student Center/Just the Facts .

The Net.Pay service is not available for loan or collection accounts.  Please visit ECSI .

One-Time Payment Gateway

IMPORTANT CHANGE: As of March 14, 2008, only your seven-digit Cornell ID number can be used on the One-Time Payment Gateway.  If you do not know your seven-digit ID number, you can find it on Student Center/Just the Facts  or by calling Bursar Account Services at (607) 255-2336.

If other payers are responsible for payment of the bill, and they do not wish to use the Net.Pay service, but would still like to make a payment electronically, they may do so using a U.S. checking or savings account through our one-time payment gateway . After payment has been made, they will receive a confirmation screen, as well as an e-mail confirmation upon completion of the transaction.

 Note: Please allow two business days for payment processing. Payments must be received on the student's account by the billing due date to avoid finance charges.
