Paying your College Bill 
  • Set up parents, guardians or anyone else as an Authorized Payer on the online Student Account Center so they receive notification of college bills and can make online payments.

  • Set up direct deposit for any potential future refunds on the Student Account Center.
  • Sign up for our 4 payment plan on the Student Account Center, if needed, or go to https://www.geneseo.edu/paymentplans/tip.php.  Remember to make your first payment by August 20th as they’re not automatic payment withdrawals.
