Payment Methods

Claremont McKenna College offers a variety of payment options to offer students a secure and seamless way to pay for tuition and fees. Please select the method that works best for you. Please note we do not accept credit card payments.

 

CASHNet provides students and other authorized parties online access to view recent CMC student account bills, review account history, and make electronic payments. An email will be sent to account holders at the beginning of each month to provide notification that new bills are available for viewing on the CASHNet website. CMC does not mail out paper bills. A reminder email will be sent from CASHNet 10 days after the bills are posted reminding you to "view" your bill. This is generated if you do not click on view bill and open up the actual bill. The email is not saying you have a balance due.

Credit card or debit card payments are not accepted

Payments can be made via mailed check. You can mail it to either the Traditional or Overnight option see Check Payments. Keep in mind that 529s typically take 2-3 weeks to remit payment. As such you should plan to request payment as soon as the billing statement is posted. Many 529 College Savings Plans now have a digital distribution option that saves time and improves transparency with real-time payment tracking. When requesting a withdrawal from your plan, look to see if a digital disbursement is available.

529 payments may be submitted through the CASHNet website. Select your plan name and enter the plan account. Please note your 529 plan may not be supported. All payments are charged a $10.00 service fee.

*Regardless of the type of 529 plan, any charges not paid by the plan are the student’s responsibility and must be paid by the settlement deadline. Payments are considered received when the bank cashes the check, not when processed by a third party.
 

Please note that a $25 fee will be assessed for a payment that is returned for any reason including, but not limited to, insufficient funds, an invalid account number, and no account/ unable to locate.
