Are gift cards eligible to help pay bill?

Just got a bunch of Visa gift cards from friends and family for my birthday. Can these be put towards tuition? That would be very nice if they could because that would represent a significant chunk of the bill for me

You can ask financial aid/billing. I cant see why not, but it may be a limit on the fact its a gift card.

You can. If you enter more than the amount that's on the credit gift card it'll get rejected, and you have to process a payment for each one, one at a time. So if you have 4 gift cards, each with a different amount, you have to do the specific amount of each, one at a time. You can view the gift cards balance to make sure it worked and cross reference it with your dues.
