Carnegie Mellon University student account questions
What happens if I have an unpaid balance at Carnegie Mellon University?
Any past-due portion of your student financial obligation accrues interest at 1.5% per calendar month. CMU may place a financial hold on your account that prevents you from registering for future classes, receiving your diploma, or requesting transcripts. If past due, CMU may refer the account to a collection agency or attorney, and may report the delinquency to credit bureaus. Contact The HUB at TheHUB@andrew.cmu.edu or 412-268-8186 to discuss your account.
How does billing work at CMU?
Carnegie Mellon generates invoices on the last day of each month. Charges incurred during the month are due on the 15th of the following month. You'll receive an email notification at your Andrew email when an invoice is ready to view in Student Information Online (SIO). You can view your balance, register for online banking, and invite authorized payers through SIO. Contact The HUB at TheHUB@andrew.cmu.edu or 412-268-8186 for billing questions.
What is CMU's tuition refund policy if I withdraw?
If you withdraw before completing 60% of the semester, tuition is adjusted based on the number of calendar days completed (not a fixed weekly schedule). There is no tuition refund after 60% of the semester is completed. Housing charges are adjusted daily; meal plan charges weekly. Federal financial aid is also adjusted on the same 60% basis. Contact the Registrar at cmuregistrar@andrew.cmu.edu or The HUB at 412-268-8186 to begin the withdrawal process.
Where do I go for help with billing, financial aid, or registration at CMU?
