Payment Information
When and How You Pay
When you register for classes you will need to pay the full amount for the whole semester.APU reserves the right to require one full year of tuition before issuing an I-20 document. If this is the case, the tuition money will remain on your account until you arrive at APU and will be used to pay your tuition for the first year. If you are unable to attend, the money will be refunded after the arrival date on the I-20 has passed.

If you will be living on campus you will need to pay for housing and meals along with tuition and fees at the beginning of each semester.
The Office of International Student Services (ISS) can assist you in opening a bank account upon your arrival in the U.S. Do not carry large amounts of cash with you. Please use traveler’s checks and make it a priority soon after you arrive to establish an account with a bank or temporarily with the university financial office.
If you bring money to the U.S. in check or money order form and deposit it in a bank, it may take up to three weeks for the check to be processed and become available for your use. Therefore, we strongly recommend you choose one of the following options to ensure that you will have money available at the time of registration.
Send a Check or Money Order
Send a check or money order payable to Azusa Pacific University in advance to the university so it will be readily available for you during the registration period. Be sure to include your name and student ID number, which is indicated on your acceptance letter. We will cash your check/money order and place the funds in your school account. Please note this will not be an interest bearing account. Money that is not used to pay your school bills will be refunded to you at your request. A refund takes about one to two weeks to process, so be sure to carry traveler’s checks with you for initial expenses other than tuition. If your sponsor sends money ahead of time and you are unable to come to study, we will refund the money at your sponsor’s written request. Any amount that may have been charged by the bank to process your check or money order will be deducted from your refund check.Wire Funds

For you to receive your money at the university, it is VERY IMPORTANT that you notify your bank; 1) to whom your money will be credited (Azusa Pacific University), and 2) who the beneficiary is (you). If your sponsor wires money to the university and you are unable to come, we will refund the money at your sponsor’s request, minus any amount that may be charged for processing.
