Study Abroad Payments

- The student will receive a confirmation email informing you when you can begin making payments to the Bursar.
- Please wait until you have received this confirmation email as the charge must be added to your Clayton State student account before payments can be made online or in-person with the Bursar's office.
- You can begin making down payments towards the program fees as long as you adhere to the payment deadlines.

tuition costs and fees, visit the Bursar's Tuition website.
