Payment Options

Students can access their account through their Workday Account or their InsideSOU for the most recent statement, or to view charges and payments. The university provided email account is the primary means of account communication. Students should periodically check their university email for account announcements.

*Please note: SOU does not generate paper account statements.

Online Payments

Use a checking/savings account fee-free to make a payment online!

Effective January 2, 2026, debit/credit card payments made online will be subject to a processing fee charged by the payment processing vendor. The domestic rate is 2.95% or $3.00 (whichever is greater) and the international rate is 4.25% or $3.00 (whichever is greater). Only transactions over $20 are subject to a $3.00 minimum.

Students:
Option 1: Students can pay online through the Finance page of their Workday account.

Option 2: Use InsideSOU for electronic checking or savings payments and credit card payments.

1. Select “Student and Registration Tools” link located in the Online Services menu.
2. Select the “Make a Payment” link.
3. Users may select credit card or electronic check at the checkout page.

Former Students or Students without an SOU account:
Use the ASC Faculty & Former Employees/Students Sign-In link found in a dark green box in the bottom right corner of the inside.sou.edu page. 

Friends and Family:
Students can use the Illumia payment system to connect friends or family to their account for the purpose of making payments on the student’s account balance. This connection is initiated by the student and, once entered, the system will send an invitation email to the payee who will create their own system log-in credentials.

 Because the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974, as amended, prevents Southern Oregon University from discussing a student’s account with anyone except the student (unless written consent is on file,) students must make arrangements for friends or family to use this service and set up access in CashNet before you can make payments to the student account. If you have questions regarding FERPA, contact Raider Student Services at 541.552.6600 .

For more information about SOU policies on payment schedules, late fees, withdrawal/fee refunds, appeals and tuition costs visit payment policies. All payments are made in U.S. dollars.
