1. Electronic Check (eCheck)

Paying with an eCheck is the most cost-effective way to settle your balance online. This method transfers funds securely and directly from a standard U.S. checking or savings account.

• Processing Fees: $0
• What You Need: You will need your bank’s 9-digit routing number and your unique account number.
• Important Safeguards: Do not use your physical debit card number. Your bank account number and routing number are different from the numbers printed onthe front of your debit card.

2. Credit and Debit Cards

You can pay your balance online using major credit or debit card networks, including Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express.

• Processing Fees: Credit and debit card payments are subject to a non-refundable convenience fee which is assessed and collected directly by Flywire.
• Security & Compliance: To maintain strict data security and protect your financial privacy, Whitman College cannot accept credit card details over the telephone, via email, or in person. All card payments must be self-initiated through your secure online dashboard.

Credit Balance and Refunds

When you have a credit balance on your account, you may request a refund check (paper) or e-check (electronically direct-deposited into your bank account). When you request a refund by emailing stuacct@whitman.edu, please keep in mind that if you use your ID card to charge on campus, we prefer you leave a small credit balance on your account to cover these charges. Refunds are processed by the Accounts Payable half of Accounting & Business Services on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Students going abroad for a semester, who will not be on campus to request or pick up a refund, may contact us to make other arrangements.

Returned Payments

Our bank will automatically submit a check twice before returning the payment to us. Once it is returned, we charge a $25 fee for returned checks. Electronic check payments (processed by Flywire) that are returned for insufficient funds are assessed a fee of $30.
