Online Payments through YalePay

Yale’s recommended method of payment is online through YalePay. Online payments are easy and convenient and can be made by anyone with a U.S. checking or savings account. There is no charge to use this service. Bank information is password-protected and secure, and there is a printable confirmation receipt. Payments are immediately posted to the student account, which allows you to make payments 365/24/7 up to 4 PM ET on the due date of the bill, from any location, and avoid late fees.

Checks and cash

For those who choose to pay by check, a remittance advice and mailing instructions are available on YalePay. Checks should be made payable to Yale University, in U.S. dollars, and drawn on a U.S. bank. To avoid late fees, please allow for adequate mailing time to ensure that payment is received by 4:00 PM ET on the due date.
