The university has entered an agreement with Western Union Speedpay to handle all aspects of credit card transactions associated with student accounts.
While credit cards are a convenient method to pay for tuition, room and board, Grand Valley has paid about $600,000 in fees to credit card companies annually. Credit cards may still be used to pay tuition costs, but Speedpay will charge users $15 to process payments.
The Registrar's Office suggests making payments with electronic checks, checks or money orders through the mail or in person at the Student Assistance Centers.
