Payment Plans

We make paying for college easier with the CSM monthly payment plan, a convenient, interest-free way to budget your expenses. This is not a loan program, so there is no credit check.

Payments can be made in person at a convenient campus location, online through your my.CSMD account, or can be mailed to: College of Southern Maryland, Student Account Services, PO Box 910, La Plata, MD 20646.
 

How to Sign Up for the Payment Plan

  1. Log into my.CSMD.edu
  2. Click on “Online Services” followed by “Current Students.”

  4. Go into the “Student Finance” section, click on “Make a Payment”
  5. Click on the blue “Create Payment Plan” icon and follow the instructions for the payment plan application.

Important Information Regarding the Payment Plan

  • Students are responsible to make payments each month through Online Services or in person. The down payment and monthly payments will NOT be automatically withdrawn.
  • Students have 24 hours after registering for courses to enroll on a payment plan to avoid being dropped.
  • The down payment and the $50 non-refundable enrollment fee are required at the time you enroll in the payment plan.
  • To be eligible for a credit payment plan, you must be enrolled for at least one credit.
  • Your payment plan will automatically adjust with your student account changes including schedule adjustments, additional payments, waiver/billing changes, and financial aid awards.
  • If monthly payments are not made on the agreed date, then a $25 late payment fee will be assessed.
  • Enrollment in the CSM Payment Plan will hold your courses as long as the down payment is made and all monthly payments are current.
  • The payment plan will automatically cancel if a student drops all courses for the semester.  A non-refundable enrollment fee will be charged for each new payment plan enrollment.
