Billing

Students are billed on a semester basis. Bills are due by the printed bill due date. If a student account is not satisfied by the due date, a late fee may be imposed, and access to housing, meal plans, and transcript requests may be affected. Non-payment may also result in being dropped from coursework. The College accepts cash or check over the counter, or you may pay online with a credit card or ACH at http://www.mcla.edu/studentaccounts/. The College also offers a monthly payment plan (Massachusetts College Of Liberal Arts – MyCollegePaymentPlan). For more information about this service, please contact the Student Accounts Office.

Insurance

For any student that is three-quarter time or more during a semester (9 credits undergraduate, 7 credits graduate), mandatory health insurance will appear as a charge on the student bill. Waiver or enrollment may be completed on the Student Accounts website (http://www.mcla.edu/studentaccounts/).
