Payment Options

Paper Checks

The Office of Student Accounts strongly recommends that if you are paying by personal check, that you do so online. 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 online.

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.We advise against the use of any priority mailing service through the US Postal Service as we do not receive them directly because they pass through campus mailing services first.

It is critical that the student's GOCard number is written on the check to ensure timely and accurate posting of the payment to the student account. DO NOT identify the student using his or her SSN. Payments are posted within two business days of being received. If payment is not received by the due date, service charges are applied.
