In-Person Payment

In-person payments can be made at Student Financial Services (3rd Floor, Cougar Central) Monday through Friday 8am – 5pm.

Make an Online Payment

Credit/Debit Card and eCheck payments can be made online 24/7.

Step 1: Log in to MyCSUSM

Step 2: Access your Student Center

Step 3: From the Finances section, select “Make a Payment” button.
IMPORTANT: Be sure your internet browser allows pop-ups. Be sure to pay close attention to the “Due Now” amount.

Step 4: In the new window, select the “Balance” link.

The amount shown in this page will be your total balance, and not necessarily the amount that is due (if on a payment plan, for example). The “Due Now” amount from your Student Center will include all tuition/fees due within the next 30 days.

Step 5: Enter amount you wish to pay, and select the “Add to Basket” button.

Step 6: Confirm the amount you wish to pay, and if correct, select “Checkout” button.

Note: If the amount is incorrect, you can select “Edit Item” to change the amount. If you wish to cancel the payment, select “Delete Item”.

Step 7: Select payment method and select “Continue Checkout” button.

• For Credit Card payments: Fill out all appropriate fields and select “Continue Checkout” button.
  The next page discloses the convenience fees added to your payment. Select the box, which acknowledges and accepts the terms and conditions of the transaction. Select the “Continue Checkout” button for one final review of your payment. If the amount and payment information is correct, select the “Submit Payment” button to process your payment.
  
  
• For e-Check payments: Enter bank account and personal info, and select the “Continue Checkout” button.
