How can I make a payment online?
Login to SOAR. Click on Student Dashboard>Student Account>Make a Payment
When I click Make a Payment, the amount is different in CashNet than the "Total Due" in SOAR.
Make a Payment directs students to Transact/CashNet to make a payment. CashNet does not pull over pending aid unless enrolling in the payment plan. Therefore, the student's full balance is listed. The “Total Due” from SOAR, can be manually typed in the payment screen.
My Make a Payment link shows a blank screen.This usually happens when there is a pop-up blocker on your computer. Please make sure you are on a computer (tablets and phones have default blockers), temporarily turn off any blockers and try the link again. If the link still doesn’t load you may need to try a browser, i.e. Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome. If you still need assistance please contact the USM Help Desk at 601.266.4357.
Once I click Make a Payment, I am being asked to login again.
You shouldn’t have to login again once you’ve logged in to SOAR. This usually happens when there is a pop-up blocker on your computer.
