Flywire

You can also pay your Tuition Deposit using Flywire. Further instructions below.

IMPORTANT NOTE: As of March 1, 2024, Flywire has informed FDU that there are restrictions in accepting and processing payments for students ordinarily resident in Iran. In order for Flywire to be compliant when processing payments on behalf of Iranian students, the following criteria must be met:

• The student/payer cannot reside in Iran
• The funds cannot be drawn from an Iranian bank account
• The payment cannot be transacted in Iran

Payments from Iran

Fairleigh Dickinson University understands that making payments from Iran is difficult. Iranian students are required to use one of our payment options. Refunds can only be done to the same person/agent who makes the initial payment. Therefore, it is important to use a trusted third party. Iranian students that have used Hafez Exchange have been able to make payments and receive refunds through them.
