Payment Plan Information

Payment Methods

  • Automatic bank payment (ACH)
  • Credit/debit card (An additional service fee will be assessed. AMEX, Discover, MasterCard, and VISA are offered.)
  • Payments processed automatically on the date listed

Automatic payment is required to enroll into a payment plan.  Once payment plan is set up, manual payments should not be made to SMU unless payment plan does not cover SMU Student Account charges.

Simple Steps to Enroll

Authorized Payers:
