Statements

Bills are provided electronically. Mines does not generate paper invoices. eBills are generated monthly for any outstanding balance. Students can view their eBill in Trailhead > Student > My Account Page. Parents can view the eBill in their Authorized User Portal. eBills will reflect charges and credits through the statement date. To view charges and credits posted to the account after the statement date, view the Activity Details page of the My Account Page/Authorized User Portal.

Tuition and fees are due by 4 p.m. MST on the business day following Census Day. Any outstanding balance after the due date will be subject to a 1.5% late fee, assessed monthly. Late payments may also result in account holds which prevent future registration.

Authorized User Account

Students who would like to grant parents/third parties access to view their account information may do so by setting up an Authorized User Account in their My Account Page. Students must initiate this process as Mines cannot grant access to anyone’s account. Authorized users can sign into their account visiting mines.edu/bursar and selecting “Authorized User Login.” The Authorized User Account is different than Proxy Access.

Cashiering

Payments can be made online in the My Account Page/Authorized User Portal by selecting “Make a Payment” with the following payment methods:

• Electronic check payments – free of charge

• VISA, MasterCard, Discover and American Express with an additional convenience fee

• IFT (international funds transfer) payments

• 529 College Saving Plans

Checks can be mailed to:

CSM Bursar Lockbox

P.O. Box 735373 Dallas, TX 75373-5373

Please include the student’s Campus Wide ID (CWID) on the check to ensure proper posting of the payment. Payments can also be made at the Cashier’s Office, located in the Ben Parker Student Center, Room E172. For additional information, please visit mines.edu/bursar/payments .

Refunds

Students should enroll in eRefund to receive any eligible credit balance. eRefund enrollment can be completed on the My Account Page.

Third-Party Sponsorships

Students who have their tuition paid for by a third party may receive sponsorship status if proper documentation is sent to the Office of the Bursar before Census Day. For additional information or to access the forms, please visit mines.edu/bursar/sponsor.

Payment Plans

Mines offers optional payment plans to students and their families who wish to pay the student’s cost of attendance out of pocket. The Fall payment plan enrollment begins on April 13.

For more information, please visit our website mines.edu/bursar/paymentplan

GradGuard Tuition Insurance

Mines is partnered with GradGuard to offer tuition insurance for students. Mines recognizes that unforeseen circumstances may arise during the semester. Tuition insurance can help refund a student’s semester cost of attendance, up to the policy limit, if the student is unable to complete the semester due to a reason covered by the insurance.

For more information, please visit mines.edu/bursar/gradguard .

1098-T Tax Forms

The 1098-T provides information that a student and their family may need to complete their federal tax return. The form includes items such as “Payments received for qualified tuition and related expenses”, “adjustments made for a prior year”, and the amount of “scholarships or grants” received during the calendar year. This form is available electronically on January 31.

Please keep in mind that Mines staff cannot provide you with tax filing advice. Your accountant, tax preparer, or the Internal Revenue Service can best advise you on the utilization of the form when preparing your taxes.
