Payment Policy
Billing statements are available via each student’s Self-Service account approximately three weeks before the payment due date. Payments may be made on Self-Service using a credit or debit card, or an electronic check. Any outstanding account balance not paid by the published due date will be considered past due and will incur an $100 late fee, and a financial hold will be placed on the student’s account. This could affect enrollment status. It is the student’s responsibility to make arrangements for payment in full including setting up payment plans or completing the necessary documents for loans before the payment due date. If an online payment or check tendered for payment is not honored by the bank due to nonsufficient funds (NSF), it will not be redeposited, and a $30 fee will be incurred.
If an outstanding balance is placed with a collection agency and/or attorney for collection, the student will pay all collection fees and costs, including legal costs, in addition to the principal and interest; all such fees will be added to and become part of the judgment. Official transcripts will not be provided to students who have an outstanding balance with the College. As part of this responsibility, each student is required to sign a “Maryville College Financial Responsibility Acceptance” contract at the beginning of each school year. This contract delineates the financial obligation that is incurred by attending the College, and ensures that students read, understand, and accept this commitment.
Students with credit account balances will receive a check from the Business Office. Maryville College follows Federal guidelines for the issuance of checks to students with Title IV credit balances.
