University of Saint Mary is a private institution. The tuition a student pays covers approximately forty-five percent of the cost of a Saint Mary education. Private gifts meet the difference between the full cost and the actual tuition charges. Parents who are able to contribute to the university’s educational mission are encouraged to do so by participating in the annual giving program.

Initial Charges and Payment Schedule
An initial application fee of $25 is required for all new applicants for admission. This payment is not refundable. An advance non-refundable tuition deposit of $200 is required of all students offered admission. The non-refundable deposit is credited to the first semester’s tuition; resident students also pay a $100 room reservation deposit that is credited to the student's account first semester.

All returning students are required to make a non-refundable $100 advance payment to reserve a room, credited to the first semester's tuition.

All charges assessed by Saint Mary (tuition, room, and board) are due and payable before completion of registration and before admittance to class. The initial payment covering the first five months of the university year is due at the beginning of the fall semester. The second semester payment is due at the beginning of the spring semester.

A ten- and twelve-month deferred payment plan is available for full-time day students. A four-month deferred payment plan is available to students enrolled in a part-time day, Evening/Weekend, Graduate or Master’s program. (See Financing an Education)

Students who make their initial financial aid application at registration are required to use the university’s deferred payment plan pending receipt of aid. All applications for aid must be completed by the third week of the term.

When students are accepted for admission to the university, it is understood that the student, parents, or guardians accept the conditions of payment and the regulations of the university. All accounts must be satisfactorily settled before grades, transcripts, or degrees are issued. A student with a delinquent account may not be allowed to enroll for the following semester until the amount due is paid.

VISA, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover are accepted.
