Paying Your Bill

 
Electronically, using Penn.Pay
Penn.Pay is an electronic billing service that enables you to receive your Penn Monthly Student Account Billing Statements online, as well as providing an option to pay them electronically. During the months of July & August for incoming Penn students, paper statements will be mailed; continuing student will still receive electronic billing only. Effective with September's bill, paper bills will be discontinued, and Penn.Pay will become the only way to receive your student account billing statements for all Penn students. The statements provided by Penn.Pay will be in the same format as the printed statements, and you will be notified by email each time a new statement becomes available. Students can invite other payers to enroll in the service, so the billing and payment process can be readily available to multiple parties.

Important

The University must receive the FULL amount due on or before the due date indicated on the bill. If full payment is not received by the due date, a Late Payment Penalty of1.5% of the amount past due will be assessed, and future registration and continuing enrollment will be jeopardized.

A new Late Payment Penalty will appear both as a new transaction, and in the Late Payment Penalty box on the summary line. Adjustments to previously assessed late payment penalties will appear as a new transaction and will be included as either a New Credit or New Charge on the summary line.

If Penn accepts payment that contains or reflects “paid in full”, or other restrictive endorsements, Penn does not lose any of its rights to collect any amount due.
