Credit Card Processing Fee
Students paying their tuition and associated fees with a credit or debit card will be assessed a credit card processing fee, currently 2.85% of the transaction. Rowan University is committed to offering its students a comprehensive array of financing options to pay for their tuition and associated fees, including room and board. However, the rising cost of transaction charges has made it fiscally impossible for Rowan University to continue to absorb these expenses. In order to continue accepting credit or debit cards, the University must pass the service charge on to the cardholder.
Payments via cash, check, or online deductions from a checking account will not be subject to this fee.
