Harrisburg University's online payment processor, Transact Integrated Payments has notified us that effective July 5, 2023, there will be an increase to the convenience fee associated with credit or debit card payments. This fee is currently 2.75% and will increase to 2.85% for US card payments and 4.25% for international card payments. Despite the increased fees, this remains an industry standard rate. Harrisburg University does not retain any of this fee as it is remitted directly to the financial institution responsible for processing your card. 


  • The 2.75% convenience fee will increase to 2.85% for domestic* card payments. This convenience fee will be added for online credit and debit card transactions involving student tuition payments and/or other services. For example, a $1,000.00 tuition payment would result in an added $28.50 convenience fee to your transaction


  • The new convenience fee for international* card payments will be 4.25%. This convenience fee will be added for online credit and debit card transactions involving student tuition payments and/or other services. For example, a $1,000.00 tuition payment would result in an added $42.50 convenience fee to your transaction.



*The difference between domestic and international cards is related to the bank affiliation of the card. If your card is affiliated with a US bank, then it is considered domestic. If your card is affiliated with an international bank, then it is considered international. The percentage that you will be charged is disclosed for your review prior to completing the transaction. 


  • The minimum service fee for transactions is $3
