CU Boulder offers a variety of ways to pay your bill.

  2. Locate the Your Current Finances card. It will be on the main Buff Portal page. Click “Show Balance” to see your current balance. To pay the bill, click “View/Pay Bill.”
  3. You will see options for CU Boulder Main Campus Tuition and Fees and CU Boulder Online/Continuing Education. Click the "Pay Account Activity" button for the campus you wish to pay. Classes for each campus are billed and paid separately.

  5. Choose a payment method. (A nonrefundable 2.85% service fee is assessed by Nelnet Campus Commerce for all debit or credit transactions. We encourage payment from a checking or savings account (eCheck) in order to save money and avoid paying the service fee charged by Nelnet. Paying with eCheck is secure, fast and free.)
  6. Enter payment information and click "Submit Payment."
  7. If you paid with a credit or debit card, you will see two receipts: one for payment of tuition and fees to CU Boulder; and one for the service fee to Nelnet.
