Early Deposit Program

During the time period before the start of the fall and spring semester, The Carnegie Mellon Card Office will contact all current Plaid Ca$h account holders with an opportunity to charge initial semester deposits to the student account.  Please note that this will be incorporated into the semester balance due, and must be paid in full by the semester payment deadline.
