Policies
The SEC offers two methods with which to pay for invoices: checks and credit card. While we can process your card by taking information over the phone, it is far more secure to do so online. Credit card transactions will incur an additional 4% processing fee. Check payments have no additional fees. To pay by check, please address the check to "Student Engineers' Council at Virginia Tech" with your company’s name in the memo and mail to the following address:
Student Engineers' Council
328 Whittemore Hall
1185 Perry St
Blacksburg, VA 24060
After a payment method is specified via checkout, a processing fee up to 2.5% may be charged for changing the payment method. Paying by credit card will incur a 4% fee at the time the invoice is finalized. Please note that you cannot directly cancel an invoice - instead, you must request to cancel an invoice, after which our staff can finish the cancellation. This procedure allows us to clarify your intentions and confirm any applicable penalties.
All invoices will be due within 20 business days of registration. Payments sent via USPS must be postmarked by due date. The SEC reserves the right to charge an additional 5% penalty fee for overdue invoices for each full week payment is not received, to a maximum of 100%.
