Offered in partnership with Nelnet Campus Commerce, the CMU Payment Plan is available to students and authorized payers to distribute out-of-pocket semester charges across affordable monthly payments. Payments are interest-free and automatically deducted on the 10th of each month.
Enrollment in the payment plan must be completed each semester and requires a $55 non-refundable enrollment fee. Payment options include electronic withdrawals from a checking or savings account or credit/debit card (service fees apply).
Balance Information
Most payment plans are established with equal installments given your estimated out-of-pocket expenses. Access your semester pre-billing estimate to review anticipated charges and financial aid awards.
Any amount you expect to owe after financial aid has been disbursed is the amount your payment plan should be budgeted to include.
After tuition, housing, and financial aid have posted to student accounts, your payment plan balance will adjust to align with your actual balance.
Periodic adjustments will be processed to account for new charges and/or credits posted to your student account. You may also recalculate your own payment plan at any time.
It is your responsibility to monitor your payment plan in QuikPay, to confirm payment amounts and dates.
