Spring payment plan information coming soon!

SMUpay moved to new partner for our payment plans, but if you are currently enrolled in a summer payment plan, please know that the final installment of your summer payment plan is still scheduled to occur automatically on July 20th. Beginning June 23^rd at 5PM CST, access to view or update your current summer payment plan account will be unavailable. After June 23^rd, please contact our office for any account changes or questions you may have about your plan.

• If a payment plan is available, an “Offers Available” notification will appear under the Enroll in Plan button.
• Select your desired plan.
• Follow the prompts and provide your preferred payment method.

Note: A down payment is required if you enroll after the first installment date. Debit/credit card payments will incur a service charge.

• Log in to SMUpay and click Make a Payment or navigate to the Payment Plan tab and select Make a Payment.
• You’ll be prompted to choose whether to pay the next installment or make a general payment toward the plan.
