Payment Methods
Wake Forest's preferred payment method for tuition & fees is by eCheck through DEAC. However, Student Financial Services also accepts payment by check, wire transfer, or cash paid to the Cashier. Students also have the opportunity to participate in a monthly payment plan twice a year. All payments must be made using U.S. dollars. Student Financial Services only accepts funds that cover a student's educational expenses. If a payment is received that is not for payment of educational expenses for the current term, a student can request to either: (1) Leave the funds on their student account to cover future term educational expenses or (2) Wake Forest will return the funds via the original method of payment to the originator of the payment.
Debit/credit cards are not accepted to pay charges on student accounts.
