PantherPay

What is PantherPay?

PantherPay is Georgia State University's new secure web-based billing and payment system for viewing and paying your student account eBills.

What is billed through PantherPay?

Any transaction that is posted to your student account is billed through PantherPay on the first statement for each term (visit the Billing Information page for specific dates). This includes charges like tuition, mandatory fees, mandatory insurance, housing, and meal plan charges.

For additional transactions not included on the first eBill of the semester, updated eBills will be posted to PantherPay by the fifth business day of the month after the charge is incurred. Full payment of your student account balance is due by the date indicated on your monthly eBill.

Who is authorized to use PantherPay?

Students
Georgia State bills the student and not the parent, so it is important to note that it is the student’s responsibility to check statements (also called eBills) regularly, verify charges and ensure that payments are made on time. Because of Federal privacy laws, parents and others may view eBills and make payments only after the student has set them up as authorized payers (see “Authorized Payers”).

To access PantherPay students need to:

1. Log into PAWS at https://paws.gsu.edu

2. Click on the One Stop Shop tab

3. Click the View/Pay Student Account link in the My Account box

4. Click the PantherPay button

Authorized Payers
When a student designates an authorized payer, this serves as GSU’s FERPA release to provide protected student account information to the person authorized. Students can add or delete Authorized Payers as desiered.

To access PantherPay, Authorized Users need to:

1. Visit the Student Account website at www.gsu.edu/studentaccounts

2. Click on the PantherPay Authorized User Login button on the left side of the page

3. Enter the email address the student used to create your access

4. Enter the password emailed to you from Student Accounts

Monitoring Account Activity

Up-to-date account activity can be viewed via PantherPay by selecting “Account Activity.” Whether or not you check your student account activity, you are still responsible for payment of the balance by the due date.

Viewing eBills and Making Payments

Each month students and authorized payers will receive a courtesy e-mail to let them know that eBills are available for viewing and payment. Not receiving an email does not negate your responsibility to pay your balance by the due date.
Always check the announcements and account alerts in PantherPay for important information.
To view the most recent statement, select “eBills” after logging into PantherPay.
To make an online payment, select “Make Payment.”
