Pay From Your Bank Account (eCheck)
You can use a traditional checking or savings account to pay tuition and fees.
No fees
Both students and family members (who are authorized payers) can pay the bill online. Although we cannot accept online payments from money market accounts, investment accounts, or home equity lines of credit in CUBill&Pay, you can contact the Office of Cash Management at [email protected] for information on how to pay electronically from these non-traditional checking or savings accounts (excluding 529 college savings plans). We also accept these methods by mail or in person.
We encourage payment from a checking or savings account in order to save money and avoid paying a nonrefundable 2.85% service fee charged by NelNet Campus Commerce for credit and debit card transactions.
How to Pay From Your Bank Account
- Students log in to Buff Portal. Authorized payers log in to CUBill&Pay, select "View & Pay Accounts" and go to step 5 below.

We encourage payment from a checking or savings account (eCheck) in order to save money and avoid paying the service fee charged by NelNet. Paying with eCheck is secure, fast and free.)
- Enter payment information and click "Submit Payment."
- If you paid with a credit or debit card, you will see two receipts: one for payment of tuition and fees to CU Boulder; and one for the service fee to NelNet.
