Billing Information

Note regarding selection of payment method

Due to the rising costs of credit card charges, AMDA requests that students and families making payments to select the Checking Account payment method, if possible, especially if you were planning to use a debit card. To use the Checking Account method, all you need is your ABA # (the nine digit number on the bottom of a check) and your checking account number. Then click submit. Thank you!

If you're having trouble, please let us know.

As of March 7th, 2022, all Invoice Payments for tuition and fees will be made through ACI Worldwide's PayMyBill, located in Student Portal. This PCI compliant payment platform allows students to view their balance by enrollment and semester, as well as store payment methods.

Please submit the half payment of your tuition six weeks prior to that start date of your intended program session and the full payment 1 month prior to the start date of your intended program session. If you are unable to make the payments by these dates, please contact GapStudentAccounts@amda.edu to discuss an alternate payment plan.
