Electronic Check, Credit or Debit Card Payment Online (Visa, Mastercard, Discover, or American Express)
Effective February 25, 2019, payments are made through the NEW Appalachian State University Billing and Payments Center by Touchnet. A non-refundable 2.85% fee (minimum $3.00 charge), also referred to as a "convenience fee," is assessed by a third party for all online card transactions. This non-refundable fee will increase to 2.95% in May 2023. We do not accept payment over the phone.
For Students - Via the AppalNet Self Service: Log into AppalNet Self Service. Select the General Self Service box; select the Student Tab; select the Student Accounts link; select the Billing and Payment Center by Touchnet link.
For Authorized Users - Via the Billing and Payment Portal by Touchnet: Login with the authorized user's email address entered by the student in the Billing and Payments Center by Touchnet as the username. The password is initially a temporary password emailed upon authorization inside the Billing and Payments Center by Touchnet. Upon login the password will be changed by the authorized user. Please note: this password is unique to the Billing and Payments Center by Touchnet and is not the same as your Parent PIN Number used for FERPA verification and logging into the ASU Parent Portal
Billing and Payment Center by Touchnet access is added by the student inside the Billing and Payments Center Portal. Please note, this is different login credentials than the Parent Portal.
*Parent Portal access is granted by the Student on the Parent Access link of the Student Tab on the Appalnet. If a parent pin needs to be reset (if it is forgotten) or an email address needs to be updated, the student must do this by selecting the same Parent Access link on their Appalnet and entering the new information and submitting. More information on Parent Access and the FERPA law can be found at this link: http://www.registrar.appstate.edu/ferpa.html
