Claremont McKenna College offers a variety of payment options to offer students a secure and seamless way to pay for tuition and fees. Please select the method that works best for you. Please note we do not accept credit card payments.
CASHNet provides students and other authorized parties online access to view recent CMC student account bills, review account history, and make electronic payments. An email will be sent to account holders at the beginning of each month to provide notification that new bills are available for viewing on the CASHNet website. CMC does not mail out paper bills. A reminder email will be sent from CASHNet 10 days after the bills are posted reminding you to "view" your bill. This is generated if you do not click on view bill and open up the actual bill. The email is not saying you have a balance due.
Credit card or debit card payments are not accepted
