Money Order

1. WHAT IS A MONEY ORDER?

A money order is a paper document, similar to a check, used for making payments.  Money orders are prepaid, so they are only issued after a buyer pays for the money order with cash or another form of guaranteed funds.

2. HOW DO I PAY WITH A MONEY ORDER?

Money orders are accepted at the Bursar’s Office in-person or by mail.  Be sure the money order also includes your emplid ID number in the reference/memo section.

• In-person: The Bursar's Office is located in the New Building, RM: L.70.  First, obtain a B-ticket from the Jay Express kiosk.  A Bursar representative will then call the ticket number to process the transaction.
