How do I make a payment and what types of payment do you accept?
Payments may be made in person with cash, check, or money order at the Cashier's Office in the basement of the Administration Building. They can also be made online (Online Payments) with credit/debit card (which incurs a 2.85% convenience fee) or electronic check (free) or they can be made by check/money order through the mail. Payments may also be made through a transfer request available in our office. You must have credit on your education account and/or be financially cleared to use a transfer request.
If you are paying by check please write your Andrews University ID number on it.
When is rent due? Are there any penalties for not paying on time?
The University Apartments Office does not bill for rent. Your Lease Agreement is your notice that rent is due the 1st of each month. Timely rent payment is the resident's responsibility....A $30 late fee is charged if rent is not received by 5:00 p.m. (in the Cashier's Office M-Th) or 11:59 p.m. (online) on the 10th of the month (5:00 p.m. (in the Cashier's Office) on the 9th or 11:59 p.m. (online) if the 10th is on a Friday). If the 10th falls on a weekend, the following Monday is the cut-off date.
