Saint Mary’s offers two types of payment plans to assist your family: the standard payment plan and the 10-payment plan. You will indicate your choice of a payment plan on the Student Payment Agreement and Disclosure Statement Form. This form will be sent to confirmed students by the Business Office.
Under the standard plan, payment for tuition, room, board, and fees (minus your financial aid award) is due at the beginning of each semester. Payment is due on August 5 for the first semester and January 5 for the second semester. Additional fees incurred in any given month (such as special course fees, study abroad fees, health service charges, vehicle charges, etc.) will come due on the 5th of following month.
The monthly payment amount is calculated each semester by dividing charges for tuition, room, board, and fees (minus financial aid) into five equal payments. Semester one payments are due on the 5th of each month, July through November. Semester two payments are due on the 5th of each month, December through April. Additional fees incurred in any given month (such as special course fees, study abroad fees, health service charges, vehicle charges, etc.) will be added to the scheduled monthly payment due the following month.
Tuition statements are emailed by the Business Office on or around the 11th of each month. Payment is due on the 5th of the following month. Statements are sent to students and anyone listed as a responsible party in their online FERPA acknowledgement form. If you do not receive a statement email, check if your spam filter is blocking the Business Office and contact them at businessoffice@smumn.edu.
Electronic payment of your tuition is optional but encouraged. Payments may be made online through the Saint Mary’s website. Payments may be made via ACH transfer (electronic check) from your bank account with no fees attached. Payments made by credit card are subject to a 2.75% non-refundable fee.
The student’s billing rights can be found on our website at smumn.edu/policies.
