Billing
You can find your Fall 2024 bill in Self-Service. You should have already received notification that it is there from the Business Office. Note the following:
- The CGE doesn't have access to your bills. You should direct any questions to businessoffice@maryvillecollege.edu (Melanie Croft)
- If your bill is not paid by the start of classes, you will likely be dropped from classes and administratively withdrawn from the college. It is important to talk to the BUSINESS OFFICE as soon as you can if your payment will be delayed. They will not guarantee deferrals because we have had students who have not paid their balance.
Method of Payment
Full payment is expected by August 20th. (You should have paid by August 2nd - so there will be a late fee if you have not yet paid). If you are planning to pay by any method other than credit card, you will need to make arrangements prior to your departure.
Maryville College accepts the following forms of payment:
