We accept the following forms​ of payment:

Cas​h

  • In person at the Cashier's Office in S310 Main Building.

Checks/Mo​​ney Orders/Cashier Checks

  • Make checks payable to University of Houston-Downtown. No third party checks accepted.
  • Checks presented in person or by mail must be preprinted – we do NOT accept temporary checks.
  • We do not accept postdated checks – any check received will be processed upon receipt.
  • We must have the driver’s license of the person that signed the check.
  • The UHD student ID number must be on the face of the check.
  • The check must be for no more than the total amount due. We do not give cash back.
  • The check must be from an American bank. We do not accept checks/money orders drawn on foreign banks.

Electronic Che​cks

  • Please be careful when entering your Bank Routing Number and Checking Account Number. You can find the Bank Routing Number and your Checking Account Number within the string of numbers located at the bottom of one of your checks. Make sure you are using a check and NOT a debit card or a deposit slip. The routing number is the first set of numbers. Routing numbers are always 9 digits. The routing number represents the specific bank that should provide payment for your check. The account number typically follows the routing number. This is usually at least 8 digits, but the exact length can vary. If you are uncertain about your Routing Number or Account Number, please contact your bank for clarification before submitting your payment.

Please note that all E-check/personal check payments are subject to a 15 day hold that will prevent the student from requesting his/her transcripts/diploma ​​at any UH System Institution. Students must pay with certified funds to have their hold removed immediately upon submission of payment.

All returned E-checks and personal checks are subject to a non-refundable $20 returned check fee. A check returned for any reason within the last 6 months will block your ability to pay by personal check. See our Returned Check Policy.
