Payment arrangements must be made with the Bursar's Office when parents and/or students are unable to make payment in full from personal funds by noon on the due date shown on the semester billing statement.

Acceptable payment arrangements consist of the following:

* Payment of all fees in full by noon on the due date shown on the semester billing statement. Cash, checks, credit cards (MC, VISA, AMEX, and Discover Card) and debit cards are acceptable forms of payment.
* Enrollment in the Murray State University Payment Plan (MSUPP) with initial payment. To enroll, please complete and return the MSU Payment Plan Application. (Accounts with a balance of $100 or less will be due in full.)

NOTE: All financial aid recipients must complete, sign and return the MSUPP application to the Bursar's Office. If recipient is accepting loans, an ENTRANCE COUNSELING FORM (off-site link) must also be completed.

The MSUPP contract is calculated on a semester basis. The total charges (tuition, housing, meal plan, and fees) less financial aid/scholarship/third-party authorizations for a semester result in the MSUPP contract amount. At the beginning of each fall and spring semester this contract amount is divided into four payments - Fall payments are due August, September, October and November, Spring payments are due December, February, March and April.

The contract amount is calculated each semester when the first billing statement is produced. Changes in your financial aid, tuition, course fee(s), housing, meal plan or miscellaneous charges will be reflected in the monthly amount due. Notification of the change will be reflected in the billing statement and may result in an increase or decrease in the amount due for the month being billed.

You may at any time in the semester elect to pay an amount greater than the amount due on your billing statement or you may pay your account balance in full.
