For International student payments in foreign currency, please make your payment through Flywire:
Overpayments of Personal Funds
William & Mary is not in a position to act as a bank; therefore, any large personal payments in excess of the amount of the semester charges will be held for a future semester. The funds will not be refunded to the student unless the student withdraws or graduates from the university. International wires in excess of the academic year charges will be returned to the originating bank. Students need to make arrangements to have personal funds to be used for off-campus rent, food, and other living expenses directed to a personal bank account.
Check or Money Order
Checks should be payable to “William & Mary” and include the student's name and ID number. Checks or other correspondence sent via the U.S. Postal Service should be mailed to:
William & Mary
Bursar's Office/Student Accounts
PO Box 8795
Williamsburg, VA 23187-8795
Checks and cash are also accepted at the Cashier’s Office on Blow Memorial Hall's lower level, 262 Richmond Road. If you have correspondence or checks you want to drop off in person, we encourage you to use the drop box at the main door on the lower level of Blow Memorial Hall, Room 101.
Payments or packages sent via express or courier service should be sent to our physical address:
William & Mary
Bursar's Office, 108 Blow Memorial Hall
262 Richmond Road
Williamsburg, VA 23186
Please include the student's ID number on all checks/correspondence sent to William & Mary.
Credit Card or Electronic Check
Credit card payments (Visa, Mastercard, AMX, Discover) may be remitted immediately or scheduled for a future date through the eServices Billing and Payment website using the links shown above. No payments are made via telephone or fax. A non-refundable service fee of 2.95% (minimum $3.00) is charged for all credit card payments.
eCheck—Electronic check payments (ACH debit from your checking or savings account) may be remitted immediately or scheduled for a future date through the eServices Billing and Payment website with no fee charged. An eCheck payment requires entering your bank's Routing ID and checking account number. Paying with your debit card is not an eCheck payment and will be rejected by your banking institution.
William & Mary will now verify your Routing ID and Bank Account information through immediate verification in eServices. If you receive an error message related to your banking information, please check with your banking institution to ensure that your routing ID and account numbers are correct and that the account will accept ACH debits. If you are using a new bank account, you may need to wait 10 days for your bank to verify that your bank information is valid. If you continue to experience issues, please contact our office.
Cash
Cash payments may be made at the Cashier’s Office, located on the lower level of Blow Memorial Hall, Room 101 (262 Richmond Road). Hours of operation are 8:00am to 4:00pm, Monday through Friday.

Virginia Line of Duty Act (LODA)
The Virginia Line of Duty Act (LODA), established in Title 9.1 of the Code of Virginia and enacted in 1972, provides tuition benefits to eligible family members of eligible employees and volunteers killed in the line of duty and to those eligible employees and volunteers disabled in the line of duty and their eligible family members. Please refer to our Virginia LODA document for more information.
VA College Savings Plan
William & Mary will defer payment (for the amount sent from Virginia529) until the funds are received. The amount the university is expected to receive from Virginia529 (previously the VPEP - Virginia Prepaid Education Program) is shown as a prepaid contract payment on your billing statement. If you participate in the Virginia529 program and do not see a credit amount on your statement, please contact Virginia529 directly at the number listed below. Any balance not covered by Virginia529 funds must be paid to the College by the due date on the bill.
Participants in the inVEST program need to submit a Distribution request form to Virginia529 each semester to have the funds disbursed to William & Mary. The university does not bill Virginia529 for inVEST or other program funds. Any balance not covered by the inVEST program funds must be paid to W&M by the due date on the bill.
Information regarding participation in Virginia529 or questions regarding your plan may be obtained from the website www.virginia529.com or by calling toll-free 888-567-0540.
Prepaid College Tuition Plans (Other than the Virginia College Savings Plan)
The student is responsible for providing their state prepaid plan with the information required for payment to William & Mary on their behalf. The W&M semester invoice is produced in early July for the fall semester and early December for the spring semester. Most state prepaid plans require a copy of your semester invoice and the number of credit hours you are enrolled in to calculate your benefit amount. Please contact your Prepaid Savings plan directly for guidance on obtaining your tuition benefit. If the payment will be delayed until after the eBill statement due date, you may need to pay your balance and request a refund once the university receives the funds.
