Sign-up is done through PantherPay via PAWS.

Before enrolling in the payment plan, you need to complete your registration and ensure that all elective charges such as housing, meal plans, parking, etc. are on your student account. Doing this ensures you will only need to make one down payment and this allows you to defer the maximum amount. When you are ready to enroll in the Georgia State Payment Plan or want to determine how much you may defer under the plan based on your current account status, please follow the GSU Payment Plan Enrollment instructions.

**Students with a payment restriction hold, are not eligible to enroll in the payment plan.  Students may appeal the payment restriction hold after one year.**

The Georgia State Payment Plan allows students to defer their current term tuition and mandatory fees (excluding meal plan and parking charges). The deferral balance is calculated after all estimated financial aid is applied to the student account. Financial aid is defined as any anticipated or actual aid, third party and scholarship payments, waivers (tuition, fee, etc.) or any other credits on your account.

There is a $50 non-refundable enrollment fee per term due at signup.

Students with at least a $300 deferrable balance remaining after all financial aid payments have been applied to their account are eligible except Graduate Assistants employed by Georgia State who are eligible for the Graduate Assistant Payroll Deduction plan. Students who have a delinquent balance or other financial hold on their account must resolve this balance/hold before they can enroll in the plan.

Note:  Graduate Assistants should sign up for our GAPD payment plan. There is no fee for payroll deduction, deferral is not limited to 50% of tuition and fee charges, and the balance due is spread over three payments rather than two.

**Students with a payment restriction hold, are not eligible to enroll in the payment plan.  Students may appeal the payment restriction hold after one year.**

Fall semester enrollment begins in July, spring enrollment in December and summer enrollment begins in April.  Enrollment ends at the end of the second week of the semester. Please check the Georgia State Payment Plan page for specific dates.  Please ensure all charges are on your account before enrolling.

Check the Georgia State Payment Plan page for specific dates. At the time of enrollment students/parents are required to set up deduction of installment payments directly from a checking or savings account. Payments are then automatically drafted from your account.

Payment Plan holds are posted to each student account that fails to adhere to the installment plan schedule or to any student account that is withdrawn for non-payment. To appeal the hold, submit a payment plan appeal form.

You can make payment of any amount towards your next installment at least two days prior to the scheduled installment payment date to avoid the possibility of a duplicate payment occurring.

To enroll in the payment plan, you will have to schedule your installments using either your checking or savings account or major credit card. However, payments made in any method will apply toward your installment amounts, so you can make payment another way (wire, paper check, etc.) if you make that payment at least two days prior to the installment due date. As long as the installment is paid in full on or before two days prior to the installment payment date, no ACH bank draft or credit card charge will occur. However, please ensure that payment is made in full at least two days prior to the due date to avoid the possibility of a draft or credit card charge occurring.

**Students with a payment restriction hold, are not eligible to enroll in the payment plan.  Students may appeal the payment restriction hold after one year.**

A scheduled payment is an electronic check or credit card payment that will automatically be processed on the specified date and for the amount due for your GSU Payment Plan installment.  Scheduled payments are required for enrollment in the GSU Payment Plan.
