Pay by 529 Plan

You may pay using your 529 College Savings Plan either online through Illumia (formerly Transact/Cashnet) or by mailed check.

Online 529 Payments Through Illumia

Some 529 providers offer electronic payment options directly through the Illumia portal.

529 Plans with Electronic Payment Options

How to Make a 529 Payment Through Illumia

While many 529 providers offer electronic payment options, not all plans are currently available within the Illumia portal. If your provider is not listed in the link above, please follow the mailed check payment instructions. We continue to work with Illumia to expand the number of supported 529 providers. Many 529 College Savings Plans now offer distribution tracking or real-time payment updates. We encourage you to check with your plan administrator to see if these options are available. 

Please note:

• George Fox University does not request funds directly from your 529 plan
• Students or account owners must request distributions through their plan administrator
• Please include the student's full name and student ID number on the memo line of the check to ensure timely processing

Important Payment Timing Information

To avoid potential late fees, mailed 529 payments must be receive by the published payment due date. If your 529 payment will arrive after the due date, please complete the 529 Check Deferral Request Form. 

For Spring term payments, we use estimated tuition until the semester starts. In order to have the 529 distribution match the 1098-T form, we recommend waiting until the new calendar year starts to initiate the payment and filling out the deferral request form.
