Anxious about paying bills online? You can choose to pay your fees by visiting or calling your bank. Just let them know you want to make a payment to Concordia University and simply provide your 8-digit student ID.

On average, this type of payment takes 2-3 business days to appear on your student account. You will not be charged any late fees if you initiate and complete this payment with your bank on or before the payment deadline.

An electronic debit to a chequing or savings account can be made online in your Student Centre. You can also access your Student Centre by logging in to the Student Hub and going to My CU Account.  There is no fee for this service unless the PAD is returned unpaid to the University. In the case of a Pre-Authorised debit (PAD) transaction being rejected for Non-Sufficient Funds (NSF), submission error, or other bank related return reasons, a $30.00 non-refundable fee will be charged.

Students can pay tuition fees online using a credit card. Credit card payments are processed by Touchnet, an external payment processing company. 

Touchnet will charge a 2.5% non-refundable convenience fee for all credit card payments made to a student account.  Accepted credit cards are Visa and Mastercard. 

Concordia has made a credit payment option available by popular demand, but recommends students first consider other methods of payment that do not incur charges or convenience fees.

You can access this service online in your Student Centre. You can also access your Student Centre by logging in to the Student Hub and going to My CU Account.

The use of non-Canadian dollar denominated credit cards for tuition fee payments is not recommended. 

For all international students wishing to pay outstanding balances using a credit card, you must do so from within the CIBC International Pay platform as explained below in the section For Visa and Mastercard.

Students have the option to add an authorized user to make tuition and fee payments online through TouchNet. Students can add the email address of a user they authorize (a family member, for example), who will receive a link via email that will direct them to the payment page. Authorized users may pay via credit or pre-authorized debit.

When designating an authorized user, students have the option to provide access to either the current balance due only, or their entire payment history. Authorized users do not have access to any information from the Student Information System (such as courses or grades) besides payment history or current balance.

To create a designated user with TouchNet, go to: My Student Centre » Make a Payment » Add an Authorized User.
