Terms and Conditions

By choosing to participate in the tuition payment plan through St. Mary’s College of Maryland, I understand that:
• The enrollment fee of $45 is non-refundable and due each semester at the time the payment plan registration is completed.
• Monthly payments are due the 5th of the month. If the monthly payment is received after the 10th, a $35 late fee will be
assessed to the student account.
• There is a service charge of 2.75% for payments made using a credit card (MasterCard, Discover, American Express, or Diner’s
Club – Visa is NOT accepted).
• There is no service fee for payments made online by eCheck unless the payment is returned by the banking institution;
returned banking fees are outlined in the handbook.
• A student who fails to make two consecutive payments will be terminated from the plan and will not be allowed to register for
the following semester until payment is made in full. Failure to pay may result in accounts being sent to collection with an
additional 17% collection fee added.
• Continued ability to utilize the payment plan is contingent on satisfactory payment history.

Please note that your MPP account is established on a semester basis; therefore, you must complete a new enrollment
agreement for each semester you choose to utilize the plan.
