Payments 

Bursar Operations offers a simple and convenient interest-free monthly Deferred Payment Plan that allows students to spread out payments for tuition and fees over several months. Students can enroll any time through myLSU. Please note a one-time service fee in the amount of $40 will be assessed. Beginning Fall 2024, the non-refundable enrollment fee for deferred payment plans will be $60. 

Tuition payments may be made online through myLSU. Bank drafts and all major credit cards are accepted. 

Bank Draft

Bank drafts, also known as an e-check, is an electronic version of a paper check that has faster payment processing times and less waste. With a bank draft, money is electronically transferred from the payers’ checking account and direct deposited into LSU’s account. An approved payment in process will protect the student’s schedule from being purged unlike a check sent through the postal service. 

If a bank draft is returned due to insufficient funds, for a closed account, a $25 service fee will be assessed on the student account. If this occurs, the student will not be able to make another bank draft until the insufficient draft is cleared with certified funds (credit card, money order, cashier’s check, or cash).

If an incorrect account number is inputted, LSU is notified by the bank approximately three to seven business days after the bank draft is submitted on the student account . When this happens, the student will receive an email notifying them of the returned bank draft. Upon receipt of the email, the charge will be reinstated on the student account within 24 hours.  

Debit/Credit Card

LSU accepts MasterCard, Visa, American Express, and Discover. Please note there is a 2.5% processing fee that will be added to all card payments.

Please note a $25 service fee will be assessed on all payments returned due to insufficient funds, stop payment, or closed account.
