UT Dallas only accepts international payments in one of two ways, none other; the two international payment methods are Demand Draft and Flywire. Below are the instructions for Flywire.

Details

Bank details are not provided by fax, phone, email, nor other such means; for security reasons, we only accept international payments through Flywire. When you log into Galaxy and follow the instructions provided below, you will be given the opportunity to make payment in U.S. Dollars by selecting other currency; or, depending on your home country, you may have the option to use your home currency. If you select to pay in U.S. Dollars, you will be provided with the U.S. bank account details to make your U.S. Dollar payment to UT Dallas through our international payment processor, Flywire. Note, the bank account details you need for your bank are provided to you when you schedule the payment through our international payment processor, Flywire. Also, if your bank requires the official business agreement between UT Dallas and Flywire in order to complete the transfer, use the Help Feature in the Flywire site to ask the Flywire Support Team for the documents you need as each country may have their own specific documentation requirements.

Demand Draft

For demand draft, your bank must choose a bank branch that is located in The United States of America.  Most international banks have a working relationship with a bank branch that is located inside The United States of America that they can use.  You do not need to choose the bank branch located in the U.S. for your bank.  They will make that choice. 

Demand Draft Instructions

You may submit a demand draft if it is made payable in U.S. Dollars, the demand draft must use the U.S. MICR system, drawn upon a U.S. bank branch of your home banking institution, and made in favour of The University of Texas at Dallas.  Note, you will know if your demand draft uses the U.S. MICR system by looking at the bottom of the check.  The bank account number and bank routing number will be printed on the bottom of the check.  If your demand draft does not have the MICR information, we may not be able to process the demand draft successfully; and, your payment may be significantly delayed.  On the demand draft, you should see a "Remitter:" or "Memo:" field.  The bank may use a similar word such as the two listed.  Write your full name and last-four of your UTD ID in that field.  If you do not see such a field, on the back of the check, in the upper-middle of the widest part of the check, you may write your full name and last-four of your UTD ID number. 

The UTD Bursar’s Office does not have in-person services; however, we do have a Drop-Box located in the Student Services Building, Floor 2, Room 2.300.  If you need to send the demand draft by international courier, this is the mailing address.

If possible, please send your demand draft by courier with at least two weeks of lead-time to allow your envelope to arrive in a timely manner. Allow two to three weeks for arrival of the envelope to the campus.

For payments made through Flywire, allow five business days for your bank to transmit the funds timely.  Be mindful of any/all bank closures, delays, employee holidays, National Holidays, and any other unforeseen circumstances that may prevent your bank from transferring funds timely, such as, but not limited to, results of pandemic, weather, other circumstances beyond the control of the bank.
