ABAC STUDENTS CAN PAY FEES ON-LINE FOR THE FIRST TIME

            Students at Abraham Baldwin College can now pay their fees on-line, thanks to technology that allows the processing of credit card payments on the Web. ABAC has contracted with GeorgiaNet to provide this on-line payment processing. Several other schools in the University System currently use GeorgiaNet.

The new system is now available for student use. Students must pay by the published fee payment deadline, which is 3 pm on Aug. 8 for the fall semester, in order to secure their schedule since the on-line payment option will be turned off at the fee payment deadline. Fall semester classes begin Aug. 18 at ABAC.
             This new way of paying fees is very convenient for students. Payments can be made after office hours (on evenings and weekends). Also, the on-line payment processor can accept MasterCard, Visa, American Express, or Discover. Currently, ABAC only accepts MasterCard or Visa. Debit cards cannot be accepted when paying on-line.

Students may access the web payment option through the Web Registration page on Banner Web--the same place they would go to register or view their schedule on-line. ABAC’s web site address is www.abac.edu.

According to Cam Reagin, Director of Business Services at ABAC, on-line payment processing makes it a little easier for students to pay because they no longer need to mail payments, call with a credit card, or come by campus, and they can pay outside of normal office hours.

ABAC President Mike Vollmer said this new way of paying fees will definitely be well received by ABAC students.

“We live in a world of ever-increasing technological advances,” Vollmer said. “This new system of paying fees is something that students are definitely going to appreciate. It’s convenient, available 24/7, and best of all, students can avoid long lines at fee payment time. I am grateful to the cooperative efforts of the ABAC Business Office and ABAC Student Support Services for making this new system possible.”
