Billing and Important Dates
Billing Schedule and Key Important Dates:
Tuition and fees are charged to the student’s account at least 30 days prior to the
first day of instruction for Term 1 (Fall) and Term 2 (Spring). An electronic billing
(e-billing) notification will be sent to you via your CUSM e-mail account the day
charges are applied. You will not receive a copy via US mail. A reminder e-billing
notification will be sent out to you two weeks prior to the due date and then again
one week prior to due date. Tuition payments are to be received by 5:00pm the Friday
of the first full week of instruction. If Friday is a holiday or the university is
otherwise closed, payment must be received by 5:00pm the previous business day. Failure
to make payment by the end of the second Friday of the term may result in withdrawal
from CUSM.

Please note: Disbursement of your awards will occur once you have completed all required
applications and provided all required documentation and information. You may check

Payment Resources
Past Due Accounts
Payment of all tuition and fees are due by the end of the first week of each semester/payment
period. If your account becomes past due, a late payment penalty charge of $200 will
be assessed on subsequent bills. If your account remains unpaid/outstanding after
your departure from CUSM, it may be referred to a collection agency and reported to
a credit bureau.
Returned Checks
A collection fee of $25 is assessed for each check/e-check returned for non-payment
including any check in which payment is stopped. The check must be paid within 10
days, or it will be turned over to a collection agency, and the student will be liable
for all collection costs and any other related costs. You will receive an e-mail notice
regarding the returned check. The e-mail will include instructions for clearing the
returned check. If an account indicates a history of returned checks, CUSM may suspend
a student’s check writing privileges.
