Personal Payments

• There is a nonrefundable enrollment fee for each semester the payment plan is used:

Notes

• Automatic payments are charged/withdrawn on the 5th of each month after the plan is activated with your first installment/down payment being charged the day you enroll in the payment plan. 
• Any change in your financial obligation to Brooklyn College will change your total payment plan balance and remaining monthly payment amounts.
• If the enrollment fee is returned for any reason, the agreement will be terminated.
• All credit/debit card or eCheck/ACH payments that are returned will be subject to a returned payment fee of $30 per occurrence of returned payment.

One-Time Online Payment (via eCheck or Credit Card)

Be advised that if you want to make a one-time online payment, CUNY recently changed their process. 

This informative video describes how to submit an eCheck payment. See other one-time payment details below.

• To make a one-time online payment, select the make a payment link on your Student Center page (make sure your pop-up blocker is disabled).
• Then select View and Pay Accounts on the menu on the left.
• Select the "Make a Payment" button at the top or View Brooklyn College Details
• You will see a screen that displays all of the CUNY schools (past and present) associated with your EmplID. Next to each school will be a payment amount box along with a check box.
  • Since each school is listed, each payment amount box either will be populated with a dollar amount if you owe money to that school, or will be blank if nothing is owed.
  • You can choose to pay the entire amount in the payment amount box.  Or you can choose to override the pre-populated amount and enter the amount you wish to pay in the payment amount box next to the school you want to pay.
  • Select the Payment Method in the drop down menu (eCheck or Credit Card) and follow the remaining payment information prompts
  • There is no fee for using the eCheck option
  • There is a 2.65 percent convenience fee (of the full payment submission) charged for a credit card payment.
• After you enter your payment method information you will see a screen asking: "Is this information correct?" Before you finalize your payment, review your payment information to:
  • Make sure you are only sending money to a school where you have outstanding charges.
  • Confirm the amount.  
  • If the information is wrong, cancel and start over.

* Payments for balances prior to 2012 cannot be submitted online. Submit these payments in person or via mail (see below for mailing instructions). Personal check payments must be cleared before any holds can be released.

By Mail

If you wish to pay tuition by mail, obtain a copy of your bill from CUNYfirst. Send a copy of your bill with a check* or money order made payable to Brooklyn College to:

Brooklyn College
Enrollment Services Center
Attention Billing and Payments
2900 Bedford Avenue
Brooklyn, NY 11210

Be sure to include your full name, semester for which you are paying, and your CUNYfirst EMPLID number on the check or money order.

Allow five to 10 business days for the receipt and processing of all mailed payments.

Wire Transfer Payments

For instructions regarding payment submission by wire transfer, contact the Office of the Bursar via phone, 718.951.5200, or e-mail.

When submitting a wire payment, please ensure that your name and EMPLID are included, and that the payment does not exceed your total tuition amount. For wire transfer payments received in excess of the tuition balance, any excess payment amount will be returned to the issuing bank.

In Person

To submit payments in person, come to the Enrollment Services Center in the lobby of the West Quad Center and take a ticket for Bursar/Payment Services.

These payment methods are accepted in person:

• Cash
• Check*
• Money order

Credit cards are not accepted in person.

* International check payments can be subject to additional processing fees; therefore, Brooklyn College does not receive the payment amount indicated on the check.

• Students submitting international check payments will be responsible for the amount of these fees.
• This amount will be deducted from the initial payment amount and will be reflected in the student's balance on CUNYfirst.
