(While in-person advising is available, we strongly encourage you to call into the virtual queue to be assisted via phone call or Zoom.)

PAY FOR YOUR FALL CLASSES IN MONTHLY INSTALLMENTS WITH THE CSM PAYMENT PLAN

We make paying for college easier with the CSM monthly payment plan, a convenient, interest-free way to split your semester bill into monthly installments and budget your expenses. This is not a loan program, so there is no credit check. The sooner you sign up for the payment plan, the smaller your monthly installments will be for Fall 2023!
