*Important: Double-check your routing number and account number to avoid returned checks and associated fees. Savings accounts are accepted for web checks as long as no limitations are in place with the payer’s bank. Please inquire with your bank regarding their policy prior to using a savings account as a web check.

**Please note: PayPath/Heartland an independent third-party contractor charges a non‐refundable service fee of 2.95% (minimum $3) of the amount paid via credit card. The fee is established and charged solely by PayPath/Heartland and not by Hofstra University. The fee is paid in full to and retained by PayPath/Heartland; the University does not receive any of this fee.
