  • Complete the online form and click “Send invitation”
  • This will send an email containing your parent’s login information to the email address you provided for them

Logging on to Transact as an authorized payer:
In order to gain access to Transact, the student must initially add you as a payer as outlined above. This is a very brief process. If you have already been given access by the student, login at www.gordon.edu/transactlogin

Trouble logging in as an authorized payer?
If you an authorized payer having trouble logging in to Transact, please review the following:

  • Are you logging in at the correct location?

    If you cannot remember what your username or password is, have the student retrieve it by logging into Transact and clicking on the link to their name in the top left corner. Once on that page, they can then click on your name in the "Payers" section and choose "Resend payer invitation". This will send you another email with all of your login information.

Making Payments in Transact

How to make a payment using Transact:
After logging into Transact, click “Make a Payment.” Enter the appropriate amount and select “Continue.” Follow the steps as instructed.

  • Electronic check/ACH: Paying with your checking account is a no-fee option for paying online. To take advantage of this, select “New bank account” in the payment method drop-down box.
  • Debit or credit card: Transact will allow payments to be made with a debit or credit card, however, a fee of 2.85% will be assessed.
  • Foreign currency: To make a wire payment, choose “Make a Payment,” type in the appropriate amount, click “Continue,” then select “Foreign Currency” in the payment methods drop-down window. This will walk you through the necessary steps to complete your payment.

Please note: If you have made a payment by credit card, we cannot refund that payment to a checking or savings account. Credit card refunds must be returned back to the original credit card it was paid from.

Paying by paper check:
We still accept payments via check - please remember to put your name and ID number in the memo line. We do encourage payment with your checking account electronically on Transact, however, as this eliminates the extra time of mailing and manually applying the check to your payment plan.

Enrolling in a Payment Plan

How to enroll in a payment plan:
On the "Overview" page of Transact under “Payment plans”, click on “View payment plan options” and a list of plans will appear to your right. Choose the appropriate option, and then click “Enroll in plan”. Review the payment schedule, terms and conditions.

*Please note that the amount to be financed can be larger than the current balance on your account if you have not yet been billed for all courses.

Billing Information in Transact

Students will receive one paper invoice per term. All subsequent bills will be posted electronically. Especially for this reason, it's important that students grant billpayers access to Transact.

Transact also gives you the option to see a list of recent transactions in real-time by clicking on “Activity Details".
