How to Make Payments
Student Financial Responsibility Agreement
(This statement is in the Mandatory Check-In process via BisonWeb)
By proceeding with my registration, in exchange for being permitted to register for and attend classes, I am entering into a Promissory Note (“Agreement”) with the University obligations me to pay all outstanding monies owed to the University not paid by loans, scholarships, grants and/or other payments. Payments are due by the due date displayed in each Electronic Bill posted for me in BisonWeb.
I acknowledge, I have read the Student Reference Manual, pages 12-15, pertaining to payments, billing, and total withdrawals.
Should I fail to pay an outstanding balance in full when due, I agree that a monthly $100 late fee will be assessed to my balance. I further agree that should my account become delinquent, the University may withhold future registration, awarding of any degree(s) or diplomas, and/or grades and official transcripts. Further, if I am delinquent, the University may pursue litigation against me, transfer my account to a collection agency and/or report any delinquency to credit bureaus(s). In addition to my balance, I agree to pay the University’s cost and fees, including attorneys’ fees and cost of collections agencies, incurred in any litigation or collection activity resulting from my failure to pay under this Agreement.
I authorize the Howard University and its agents, representatives, attorneys, and contractors (including collection agencies) to contact me through my mobile phone, home phone and email, including by way of text and automated message calls, for purposes of collecting any portion of my student financial obligation which is past due.
I have read this Agreement and understand it. By clicking the CONFIRM ATTENDANCE button, I affix my electronic signature, consent to this Agreement and agree to pay the University my outstanding balance, plus fees and costs as set forth above.

There is a $45.00 non-refundable enrollment fee, and monthly payments are made based on the payment plan enrollment date. The payment plan is managed by TouchNet.
Automatic payments are deducted from a checking/savings account or credit/debit card each month until the semester balance is paid in full.

Third-Party Billing
Third-party billing is a billing method in which a government agency (including military branches), foreign government agency, business, embassy, or any other organization submits an agreement to pay all or a portion of a student’s tuition and/or fees. The third-party sponsor is billed up to three times per semester. Should the sponsor not submit payment, the student is responsible for satisfying their student account balance.
All third-party payment authorizations should be submitted to the Third-party Billing Department via email at thirdparty@howard.edu.
All third-party students must also submit a Howard University Third-party Billing Contract. Please click here to view and complete the contract.
