Check Payments

You can pay with a check by mail (see below), in person in the Student Services Center at the Bursar's Office Cashiering Services windows, or you may also place your check payment in the night depository which is located to the right of the front entrance of the Student Services Center (under the scrolling electronic sign).

• Make check payable to San José State University or SJSU

• The student’s SJSU ID number must be on the face of the check.
• All personal checks will be converted to electronic debits.
• Checks will not be returned to the student.
