How to Pay

Swarthmore College's billing and payment portal offers secure and convenient access to student account billing to students and those authorized to access the student's account. This service makes it easy to:

    • Receive email notification when a new bill is available.
    • View billing statements.
    • Make online payments via e-check (no convenience fee).
    • Make online payments via American Express, Discover, or MasterCard (2.60% convenience fee charged by Official Payments, Inc.).

    Student E-Bill Access

    Students automatically have access to the billing and payment portal. To see your e-bills,  simply log into MySwarthmore , select E-Bill Account Menu, then select E-Bill View/Pay. You may also log directly into the payment portal

    Invite Someone to Access Your E-Bill Account

    If you would like a family member or other third party to pay your bill on your behalf, you must invite them to become an Authorized User in the payment portal.  An authorized user is someone you have invited to access your account to make payments. You can invite up to 10 authorized users. On the My Profile page, in the Authorized Users section, you can view all authorized users' names, email addresses, and the status of their invitations (Accepted, Canceled, or Expired).

    Instructions for inviting an Authorized User to access your account.

    Electronic Check

    Make a payment directly from a personal checking/savings account drawn on a U.S. bank without having to mail a check. There is no charge to pay by e-check.
