Financial Clearance Deadlines
Students enrolled in courses at Mount Saint Mary’s University are required to clear their total account balance by the Financial Clearance Deadline. The Financial Clearance Deadline occurs 30 days prior to the start of each term (semester). In order to avoid any restrictions and fees, total account balances must be cleared no later than the Add/Drop Deadline of each term (semester).
These are published deadlines established to ensure that the student clears their financial obligations with the Student Accounts Office. Published deadlines are available on the Student Services office website through myMSMU/Student Services/Financial Clearance Policy & Deadlines
Late Fees
An unresolved balance will be considered past due the day after the Add/Drop Deadline, and late fees will be assessed. The Add/Drop Deadlines are determined by Academic Affairs and published on the Academic Calendar.
Late Fee Assessment:
- $0-$499 – No Late Fee
- $500 - $1000 - $125 Late Fee
- $1001 and over - $250 Late Fee
