Step 1: Authorize Payers

Before you can pay your bill online, you must first authorize payers. This is a necessary step to ensure that your personal and financial information is protected. To authorize payers, follow these steps:

• Log in to Buff Portal (https://buffportal.colorado.edu/)
• Locate the Tuition & Fees card on the main Buff Portal page
• Click “Account Setup”
• Click “Authorize Payers”
• Enter your authorized payer’s name and email address
• Create a login name for them
• Click “Save”

An email with the login name will be sent to the authorized payer’s email address. They will then be prompted to set a password. You can add up to five authorized payers.

Step 2: View Your Bill

To view your bill, follow these steps:

• Log in to Buff Portal (https://buffportal.colorado.edu/)
• Locate the Tuition & Fees card on the main Buff Portal page
• Click “Balance Summary”
• Click “View/Pay Bill”

You will see options for main campus (CU Boulder Tuition and Fees) and Continuing Education. Click “Pay CU Boulder Tuition and Fees” to pay for main campus classes. Pay for Continuing Education classes separately.

Step 3: Pay Your Bill

To pay your bill, follow these steps:

• Enter payment amount and choose a payment method
• Click “Continue”
• Enter payment information and click “Continue”
• Confirm that the information is correct, note the service fee if you are paying with a credit or debit card
• Click “Confirm” to make your payment

If you are paying with eCheck, you will be charged a nonrefundable 2.75 percent service fee for each transaction. We encourage you to pay from a checking or savings account (eCheck) in order to save money and avoid paying the service fee charged by NelNet. Paying with eCheck is secure, fast, and free.
