University Bursar - How do I pay my student account balance with eCheck?

To pay your student account balance with eCheck, you will need the following information:
  • Routing number: the 9-digit routing number associated with your financial institution.
  • Account number: the number associated with your individual account (NOT the number on your debit card).

Financial institutions may make their routing numbers publicly available on their websites, but your account number should be kept private. If you need assistance determining the routing and account number for your checking or savings account, contact your financial institution.

For more information on routing and account numbers, please see the US News and World Report article: What Is a Routing Number and Account Number?
