Effective July 1, 2005, the Bowling Green State University Bursar's Office will no longer be permitted to accept Visa credit card payments. MasterCard and Discover will continue to be accepted, but only through our web site and our toll free number listed below. We will not accept any credit or debit card payments in person at our cashier windows, by mail, facsimile (FAX) or by telephone other than the toll free number. Bowling Green State University has been absorbing merchant processing fees for credit card users and can no longer do so. In an effort to reduce expenses, BGSU has negotiated an agreement with Sallie Mae Solutions to manage and process credit and debit card transactions. A 2.5% electronic convenience fee will now be assessed to the customer for credit/debit card transactions . This fee will appear as a "Sallie Mae convenience fee" on your credit/debit card statement in addition to your authorized payment amount. BGSU does not receive any portion of the convenience fee. Credit card payment via the web or toll free number will take two business days or 24 to 48 hours to be reflected on your Bursar account as a payment. Make sure you allow enough time for us to receive your payment by the due date.
