Governors State University
(GovState) has been offering the convenience of payment of tuition and fees by
credit or debit cards through a 3rd party partnership with TouchNet (via their
PayPath service). TouchNet PayPath is certified compliant with credit
card security regulations, ensuring continued protection of your financial data
when processing credit card and debit card payments. Charging of credit
and debit card service fees will allow GovState to continue offering the service
of credit card and debit card payments. This service fee offsets the
credit card transaction fees charged by the credit card companies.
GovState does not control these credit card transaction fees and proceeds from
this service fee go to the credit card companies.
Additional important
information:
- The service fee percentage is established by the credit
card processor (TouchNet), and not by GovState.
- The service fee will be automatically added to your
card payment.
- The service fee is non-refundable, even if the payment
to which it relates is canceled, refunded, credited, or charged back.
No service fee will be
assessed on payments made by cash, check, and electronic check.
