Student Account Payments

Student registration at St. Mary’s University constitutes a contractual financial obligation to pay all tuition and fees charged for classes, including but not limited to representing a valid electronic signature to the payment terms.

Terms

• All financial obligations are due by the designated due date for each semester.   Full payment (by either accepted financial awards, third-party sponsor or personal resources) is required by designated due date or a selection of a payment plan. Otherwise, by default, one accepts enrollment into the automatic payment plan for each term and is required to submit payments by the established dates.
• Returned payment(s) will be charged a $50 returned check fee for each occurrence. A returned payment may result in the Business Office contacting the Registrar’s Office to cancel the enrollment of the current or future term if not cleared.
• A student enrolling in a course or enrolled by an advisor/department and who does not attend class are still held responsible to pay the required tuition and fees if failure to cancel or withdraw by the designated dates.
• A student is responsible for knowing the University’s cancellation and withdrawal policies including deadlines as stated in the Academic Calendar. It is the student’s responsibility to complete the cancellation or withdrawal processes. Failure to cancel or withdraw in a timely manner does NOT relieve a student from financial responsibility to the University for tuition and fees.
• A student failing to meet current term financial responsibility may result in the Business Office contacting the Registrar’s Office to cancel registration and may NOT relieve the student from financial responsibility to the University for tuition and fees including but not limited to services used.
• A student with future registrations failing to meet current term financial responsibility may result in the Business Office contacting the Registrar’s Office to cancel future registration.
• A student with a past due balance may be placed on hold and will not be able to enroll in future semesters nor receive university records ( transcripts/diploma ) until the balance is paid in full. If the payment is made by personal and/or electronic check, the hold will be updated after 10 business days.

Payment Plan Options:

*$35 enrollment fee will be applied to all payment plans.
