Payment Options for Graduate Students
We know that lives get busier and time is even more fleeting in the beginning of the semester. That’s why we offer different options for paying your tuition bill.
Policy
Our payment policy calls for all charges to be paid in full at the start of the semester. Exceptions to our policy are made for pending financial aid, deferred payment agreements, or payments through Tuition Pay. 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.
Please note that a $50 deposit per course will reserve your place in the course. The deposit is deducted from the total tuition due, but is non-refundable. You will need to pay the balance prior to the beginning of your first class.
The fine print
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.
