PAYMENT OPTIONS
Please note: Saint Michael's College payment policy calls for all charges to be paid in full at the start of the semester. Exceptions to the policy are made for pending financial aid, payments through the Tuition Direct Program and administered by Academic Management Services (AMS) and employer-sponsored Tuition Reimbursement Programs. While other collection activity may be taken, accounts with unpaid balances for reasons other than those stated above, will result in a registration hold for the following semester.
It is important to note that balances may change over the course of the semester as new charges are added for such things as lab fees, fines, etc. Saint Michael’s will send out periodic billing statements during the academic year to communicate these charges. Your prompt payment is appreciated.
Saint Michael's College reserves the right to change various prices and policies on a prospective basis. NOTE: All but $50 per course is refundable up to the first class meeting.
