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
- Log into my.CSMD.edu
- Click on “Online Services” followed by “Current Students.”
- Agree to the financial terms and conditions, then click in “myServices”
- Go into the “Student Finance” section, click on “Make a Payment”
- 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 The down payment and monthly payments will NOT be automatically withdrawn.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.
