When paying by credit card, limit the registrations on the order to the amount that your credit card will cover. Multiple orders may be needed. Both e-check and credit card payments are available through the PPM. See below for a guide on setting up e-check and credit card payments.

To pay by mail, make your check payable to ACR and mail it to:

ACR

Checks provided by mail may take two to three weeks to process once received by ACR. Exams will not be provided to residents if the check payment is in the mail or being processed.
