USM offers convenient 4 or 5-payment plans for the Fall and Spring semesters. Each payment plan has a non-refundable set-up fee of $30.00 per semester. Payments are divided into installments with the set-up fee payable with the first installment. The 4-payment plan requires a 25% downpayment at the time of enrollment, along with the $30 set-up fee. The remaining balance is divided evenly between the remaining installments. The 5-payment plan requires a 20% downpayment at the time of enrollment, along with the $30 set-up fee. The remaining balance is divided evenly between the remaining installments.
For Summer semester, a 3-payment plan is available. Again, the payment plan has a non-refundable set-up fee of $30.00 per semester, and payments are divided into installments with the set-up fee payable with the first installment. The plan requires a 33% downpayment at the time of enrollment, along with the $30 set-up fee. The remaining balance is divided evenly between the remaining installments.
NOTE: To enroll in one of the following payment plans, you will need to access the Bill + Payment Suite via your online MaineStreet student account. You will be required to pay the set up fee and the first installment (downpayment) at the time of enrollment. You can also come into any of our offices in Portland, Gorham or LAC and we can set up the payment for you. Just be sure to bring cash or a check to cover the set-up fee and first installment.
A billing notification will be sent via e-mail to your USM @maine.edu e-mail account.
Payments are due on these dates even if a notification is not delivered (If payment is not received by the due dates below, a late payment fee of $50.00 will be assessed for each late payment).
*Failure to receive an e-mail notification is not sufficient reason for not making payments on time.
