CCCPay Online Payment Options
Online E-check payment - One of the best features in CCCPay is the ability to make secure online payments that automatically debit a checking or savings account. To make an online payment via check, simply select "Make Payment" on the navigation bar of the CCCPay website and follow the directions on the screen. When an online payment is made by the student or an Authorized Payer, the payer receives a receipt via email with a confirmation number. All student emails are sent to your Columbia email account. Payments are posted to the student's account within one business day of the transaction.
Online credit card payment - To pay by credit card select "Make a Payment" on the navigation bar and select credit card. Credit card use on CCCPay is limited to MasterCard, Discover and American Express. All credit cards payments require an additional service charge of 2.75% of the payment amount and will appear as a separate line item on your credit card statement. To view a record of online payments made to your account, select "Payment History" on the navigation bar. If you are an
authorized payer, you will only be able to view the online payments that you have made.
