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.

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 The down payment and monthly payments will NOT be automatically withdrawn.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.
• 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, and financial restriction may be placed on your student account preventing future registration activity.
• 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.
