Payment & Billing

Billing

Bills will be available online through the students account on eSpire. All billing is electronic; we do not send paper bills. If the student is not the payer, we highly encourage you set up additional payers via your account on eSpire. This will give others access to billing, receipts, notifications and any changes in the balance throughout the semester. Bills are generated at the end of each month and an email is sent to the student email & and additional payers that are set-up when they are available.  Student can also see their course and fee statement by logging onto eSpire and following this path: eSpire > Accounts and Aid > My Account Info > Course and Fee Statement. This statement is live so the student does not need to wait for the monthly ebill to see current charges and aid on their account.

What Does 鈥淐learing鈥� Mean?

This is the process of getting everything in place (classes, financial aid, housing, payment plan, etc.) for next semester. Every step in the process is critical and if any are skipped, it can cause your student account to be incorrect.  All returning and new students must complete this every semester! Students are required to be cleared before starting classes, moving on campus, or participating in sports (whichever is first).

Payment Policies

Student balances must be paid in full or students must be on a payment plan prior to the beginning of the semester. Students who have not made financial arrangements by the end of the second week of classes may be dismissed. 

It is the student鈥檚 responsibility to check their balance on eSpire/My Account Info and make payment arrangements in one or more of the following ways:

• Complete all Financial Aid requirements. Balances greater than approved financial aid are due at the start of the semester: Financial Aid for classes taken in the second 8-week session of the semester, or workshops taken late in the semester, may not be applied until those classes start. Aid includes:
  • University scholarships
  • Federal or State grants
  • Federal Stafford, Perkins, or Plus loans
  • Alternative loans
  • Outside Scholarships
  • 3rd Party Payments
• Pay tuition and fees in full by cash, check, MasterCard, Visa, American Express, or Discover.
• Enroll in a University Payment Plan via eSpire/My Account Info. Payments will be automatically withdrawn from your bank account or charged to your credit card.
• Payment plan options can be found by logging into your eSpire account, going to the accounts and aid tab, and clicking on the view payment plan options.  There is a $50 enrollment fee for all payment plans.  Any changes in student account balances after enrollment in a payment plan and will cause payments to fluctuate and will be reflected on my monthly statement.
• The number of installments depends on the month of enrollment. Plans may be available with as few as 2 installments to as many as 9 installments, depending on the semester and the payment plan selected. The 1st installment is due at the time of enrollment in the plan.
• Present letter of authorization from a third-party payer who will pay directly to the university. The university will bill the third party directly. The student is responsible for payment at the beginning of the semester if the third party makes payment to the student rather than the university. All tuition and fees in excess of the documented amount payable by the third party are due at the beginning of the semester. Third-party documentation must include:
  • Student鈥檚 name
  • Term or classes approved for payment
  • Amount approved
  • Third-party billing and contact information
• Students under the Montgomery GI Bill庐 must pay at the start of the semester. Students under the Post-9/11 GI Bill庐 must present an approved certification to the Registrar and the Business Office prior to classes starting. If a student is not eligible for 100% of the Post-9/11 GI Bill庐, the remaining percentage must be paid at the beginning of the semester.
• If you chose to pay your account with a debit or credit card, University of Saint Mary will impose a convenience fee of up to 2.95% for domestic transactions and 4.25% for international transactions on the transaction amount, which is not greater than our cost of processing. There are no processing fees associated with the ACH payment method but there is a fee if the payment is returned. The minimum service fee for card transactions over $20 and less than $106 will be $3.

Late payment fees will be assessed for all of the following:

• Late payments ($100/month)
• Returned payments ($45/each)

Failure to satisfy the payment policy will result in:

• A financial hold placed on the student account
• Transcripts, diplomas, or certifications withheld: Click here to access the university's transcript request and withholding policy.
• Registration for classes or change of class schedules prevented
• Dismissal may occur from the university after the second week of classes

Should payment not be made when due or in the event of payment default after withdrawal, the student is responsible for interest, late charges, collection, and reasonable attorney fees, if applicable. All credit extended to the student shall be considered an educational loan and may not be discharged by bankruptcy as defined by bankruptcy laws under 搂523(a)(8).

By registering for classes, students acknowledge and agree to this policy.
