International Payments

We've partnered with Transact Campus/TransferMate Education to offer international students a secure and seamless way to pay for tuition and fees in the currency of their choice.  Without leaving the student portal, you and can quickly and conveniently make an international payment from over 160 countries, using more than 130 currencies - including Alipay, WeChat, and other popular alternative payment methods.

As a security measure and in keeping with recommended banking practices, wire transfers in excess of the balance due should not be sent to your student billing account.  If overpayment does occur, we reserve the right to wire back the excess to the originating account or hold the excess for a future semester.  Funds intended for your personal expenses should be wired directly to your local bank account.

How to pay

  1. Log in to CentralLink with your CMU credentials. 
  2. Click on Pay/View My Bill in the Quick Links for Students menu. 
  3. Click on Make a Payment in the left navigation menu.
  4. Enter the amount in U.S. Dollars that you wish to pay and click Checkout.
  5. Select international payment and follow the prompts to enter your payment information and click Continue.
  6. Review the payment summary for accuracy and click Continue when finished.

You may be provided with additional steps required to complete the transfer of funds.  Please complete these steps as soon as possible so that your payment may be processed in a timely manner.  

Processing times vary by country.  As a best practice, we recommend completing your payment steps at least 10 business days prior to the payment due date.  

Note: Payments are due by 5:00 p.m. ET on the advertised due date. Payments received after 5:00 p.m. ET will be considered late and fees will apply.  Please visit our Past-Due Accounts page for additional information.
