August 14, 2009 and January 4, 2010 are the deadlines for paying Fall 2009 and Spring 2010 tuition and related charges that are in excess of your grants, scholarships, net of loans and/or payment plan program.

Beginning in October 2009, Carnegie Mellon will launch an electronic monthly invoice service. Electronic monthly invoices are PDF electronic representations of the student bill and invoice. The invoice is presented online to students on a monthly basis and/or e-mailed to parents and/or other designated bill payers upon authorization by the student. Carnegie Mellon monthly invoices are reformatted for easier viewing and include upcoming term student account charges and credits to enable financial planning. This service will automatically replace paper bills, which will no longer be mailed beginning in October.
Starting in August 2009, students should visit Student Information On-Line (SIO) to authorize Carnegie Mellon to e-mail his or her electronic monthly invoice to parents and/or other designated individual bill payers. Students MUST take specific action in order for other bill payers to receive a PDF of the invoice. Go to the Electronic Monthly Invoice page for instructions.
E-Check – Electronic Check Payment (E-Check) is available to students at Carnegie Mellon. E-Check allows a student to pay his/her current semester and future student account balance via an automatic direct debit to his/her U.S. checking or savings account. This authorization will be made from a secure student account payment website, Student Information On-Line (SIO).
E-Refund – Enrollment Services encourages all students to authorize direct deposit of their student account credit balances into a checking or savings account. Taking advantage of this opportunity eliminates the need to stand in line at The HUB to pick up a refund check. Enrolling for E-Refund takes only a moment, students simply visit the Aid/Account page on Student Information On-Line (SIO) and click on Student Account and then on E-Check/E-Refund button.
When paying by check, write the student's name and the last four digits of the Student ID on the memo line of your check. If you send a check to this address, you must attach the bottom portion of your invoice, DO NOT attach any additional information to your invoice.
