Students were notified via their student email yesterday that the billing due dates for the fall semester have been adjusted. The same announcement is also going out today to students via the Saint Mary’s Today. As you work with students and/or data we wanted to share this with you as well in case you field questions.
SGPP Letter:
Thank you for your understanding as we roll out our new student portal The Nest, to better serve you. We wanted to update you on one policy change as we make this transition.
Beginning in the fall 2023 semester, the university will be transitioning to a single billing due date for the entire semester. For fall of 2023, therefore, the tuition due date will be September 21st. The impact is that those students who enroll in 8-week courses will now see the tuition and fee charges for the entire semester of courses on their September 21st bill, as opposed to having a payment deadline on September 21st and a second payment deadline on November 21st. For students enrolling in term 2 courses only, your payment deadline will remain November 21st.
We recognize that this change could introduce some challenges for some of our students. Therefore, we are excited, for the first time, to offer you the option of utilizing a payment plan. Learn more about the payment plans and how you can utilize them in a communication coming soon – on August 10th. This communication will be coming at the same time as your pending Financial Aid award, should you choose to utilize that and have submitted your 23-24 FAFSA.
Thank you for entrusting your education to Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota.

Tuition charges, as well as adjusted housing charges and meal plan charges will now be due on August 21st. Students electing to enroll in payment plans will also have until this date to utilize this payment plan option.
For students interested in utilizing financial aid, you can review that offer and apply that to your tuition statement through The Nest student portal. For assistance with Financial Aid planning, utilizing your payment plan, or other financial planning, please contact Cardinal Central services in Saint Mary’s Hall.
