Payment Options

Paper Checks

The Office of Student Accounts strongly recommends that if you are paying by check, that you do so by electronic check. If you choose not to use the electronic check payment option and instead mail a paper check to us, we will convert your paper check into an electronic payment. We do not accept personal checks delivered in person to our office. There are computer terminals set up at our office where persons bearing personal checks will be instructed to enter their payment electronically on-line.

Payment by paper check should be mailed to:


Georgetown University
Student Accounts
Department 0717
Washington DC 20073-0717


Do not send FedEx, UPS, or any other priority mail to this address. Please send this mail and any correspondence to the contact address listed on the upper left.

It is critical that you enclose either the top (blue) portion of the billing statement or a copy of the on-line bill with your check. The student's GOCard number should be written on the check to ensure timely and accurate posting of the payment to the student account. Payments are posted within two business days of being received. If payment is not received by the due date, late fees or service charges are applied.
