Checks or money orders should be made payable to Georgia Institute of Technology. The student's identification number must be clearly notated on checks or money orders. Payments must be received (not postmarked) by 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the payment deadline date. Mail payments to the following address:

Financial aid processed by the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid is applied directly to the student's account in the Bursar's Office. If a credit balance exists after all charges are posted and paid, the Bursar's Office will refund the credit amount to the student's bank account. Many financial aid programs - including Zell and HOPE scholarships, Federal Pell Grant, and Stafford Loan - do not require full time enrollment for disbursement to occur. However, because some scholarships and grants require full-time study, and some aid programs require course registration of at least six hours for disbursement, students who are planning to enroll for fewer than twelve hours and are unsure of the requirements, are advised to seek clarification from the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid.
If a check is returned from the bank (for insufficient funds or stop payment), the student is required to redeem the returned check with cash or a cashier's check in the Bursar's Office. A returned check fee will be added to the amount due. Returned checks remaining unredeemed after a reasonable period of time may be forwarded to a collection agency. Students who have two checks returned against their Georgia Tech account will be denied future check writing privileges.
Payment by check or money order may be deposited in the drop box, located in the entry vestibule to Lyman Hall, at any hour of the day before the payment deadline. Do not put cash in the drop box. Checks should be payable to Georgia Institute of Technology. Notate the student's identification number on the memo line.
