Payment Plan Descriptions

In order to serve you better, CMC offers the following payment options. Please read them carefully and select the option that best fits your needs.

CMC is currently on an 8 payment plan for the 2008-2009 school year. For the Fall 2007 semester there will be four installments. The first installment will be due on August 20 and go through November 20, 2008. The remaining four installments will be applied to the Spring 2009 semester. The dates for the Spring 2008 semester will be due from January 20, 2009 through April 20, 2009.

If you feel that you may need to be on the installment plan please complete "Option #2 or #3 on the Payment Plan form.
