Past Due Balances and Late Fees

Late payment fees (1% of the amount past due) for student accounts with past due balances will be assessed this Friday. To record your payment in time (prior to Friday), please consider paying online via mygfu. When you pay online using your checking account routing numbers, there are no online service fees and your payment will be applied instantly to your account. Then, holds that have been set based on the account balance are generally automatically released that same night! It works pretty slick! Just log in to mygfu and follow the steps below. If you have any issues be sure to allow pop-ups and you may need to clear your browser cache or history.

Housing Deposits for 2012- 2013

Please be aware that the GFU Student Life Office has begun the housing deposit process for the 2012-2013 academic year. The $150 housing deposit can be paid online or in person, but it will only be accepted if the student stops by Student Account for a "Housing Deposit Confirmation" form. Without this form, your payment will be applied to your account like any other payment - not as a deposit. In addition, please be sure to read all the information furnished by Student Life regarding the housing selection process for the coming year.
