Credit Card Fee Implementation

We will be implementing a 3% fee on all credit or debit card transactions starting on October 1, 2025.

Waldorf University has been absorbing the cost of these transaction fees, and implementing a method to recoup a portion of this cost has become necessary to ensure general funds are not being used to subsidize convenience for card users.

All credit card charges are subject to this fee, including out-of-pocket tuition payments for upcoming terms, credit card charges for those on payment plans, and on other miscellaneous charges such as additional evaluations. To avoid this fee, you can remit payment via check mailed to our campus in Forest City, IA or pay via ACH. For assistance with either alternate method, please reach out to Student Accounts at 877-267-2157 ext. 9167 or at accounting@waldorf.edu.
