Make a Payment with SMUpay

SMUpay Options:

Payments can be made securely online through your my.SMU Student Dashboard or Authorized Payer account using a variety of options shown below. If you are a parent/guardian who would like to become authorized by your student to make payments on his or her behalf, your student must first set you up as an authorized payer by following the instructions found here.

• eCheck (Personal Checking or Savings): No service fee is charged for this option. You will need to provide your bank’s routing number and your checking or savings account number. If you have questions regarding the correct numbers to use, please contact your financial institution. Keep in mind that some banks use different routing numbers for ACH transactions and wire transfers. The routing number you need to use for payment through an eCheck is the ACH routing number, which is typically found at the bottom of your check and is the left-most number, followed by your account number, and then by the number of the check. Do NOT use any numbers on your debit card.
• Credit Card (American Express, Discover, MasterCard and VISA): A non-refundable service fee of 2.85% is added to the total payment as a separate transaction. This is a fee charged to you by our payment processor; SMU does not receive this additional fee.
  • IMPORTANT: VISA may only be used for payments made to the Student Account (Tuition/fees, room/board, parking permit, mandatory health insurance) and payment plans. A different payment profile that does not use VISA can be used for payments made to the Miscellaneous Account.
