Student Accounts

Students are encouraged to complete the Registrar’s FERPA form, which gives the College permission to to discuss account information with another person. The form is found in MyMECA. If this has not been completed, we cannot discuss account details with you.

Please have your student complete the FERPA form if account details are to be shared. It is MECA&D’s policy to reach out to students about their account when necessary, and can only reach out to you if the FERPA form is complete.

Your tuition statement is available 24/7 in MyMECA under Finances > My Account Info > Course and Fee Statement > Generate My Course and Fee Statement.

Enrollment and dorm deposits are separate accounts and not included on your tuition statement.

The technology fee is billed each semester and helps cover costs including internet, software, and email. This fee cannot be waived. Students benefit from the infrastructure the College provides via the technology fee.

All bills must be paid in full by the payment date listed on your billing statement. Please note, students will not be allowed to complete the final registration process unless the charges are covered by a payment, financial aid, payment plan, or a loan.

Please log into your MyMECA account to review your statement and pay your balance. Payment options can be found on the Tuition Payment page on the MECA&D website. Check payments can be sent to:

Maine College of Art & Design

If paying your balance by ACH/Electronic Check, you can log on to your MyMECA account and pay online. You’ll need your bank routing and account number.

• Go to mymeca.meca.edu/ics
• Log in with your MECA&D email address
• Click on Finances
• Click on My Account Balances
• Click Make a Payment

To create a new payment plan:

MyMECA > Finances > My Account Balances > Go To Transact > Enroll in a Payment Plan > Monthly Payment Plan > Electronic payments with ACH.

Regularly scheduled payments are processed on the 15th of each month, with a small non-refundable enrollment fee for plans. If someone is paying on behalf of the student, the student must set up their payment plan account first and then add an authorized payer.

Please note, payment plans are available for each term for the fall and spring semesters. Sign up for a payment plan in MyMECA.

You can adjust your budget by following these steps:

Log into MYMECA > Finances > Go To Transact > Click on your Payment Plan

Once you click on your payment plan, a pop up window will show you your payment plan details.

Click "Edit Amount" next to your payment schedule. Set your new budget amount in the top box, and then your monthly payments schedule will be updated. Bills will be updated with the new budget once Student Accounts sees that the adjustments have been made in MyMECA.

Please create an account and follow the steps here. You will need your student ID number to login (please do not include any leading zeros). We review waivers on a weekly basis, so if yours is accepted it may take a few days for us to update your account statement. Waivers should be submitted by the tuition payment due date. Waivers will not be accepted after the add/drop period.

We are unable to honor and accept out of state Medicaid insurance plans. You completed the waiver correctly and have listed X Insurance for the waiver. Your waiver was declined because your insurance is an out of state Medicaid plan. Most out of state Medicaid plans will only cover emergency room visits, and MECA&D's policy is that all students need to be covered by a health insurance plan where you can visit a doctor's office.

If you answer the health insurance question incorrectly, you can log back in and complete the waiver again.

Log in and go to the tab “Student Options,” then “Waiver Options” and select the “Remove Waiver/ Switch to Enroll” option and that will take you to where you can either Waive or Enroll again. If you don't have out of state Medicaid, or a limited HMO, then you should follow the prompts to waive again.

Please log into your Wellfleet Student Insurance account and go to the Student Options tab to view your electronic insurance card. Paper insurance cards are no longer sent. We suggest saving a digital copy on your cell phone or other device, or printing a copy for your records. You can also review other important insurance information online by clicking here for At A Glance Benefits.

The Cashless Student Meal Plan contract can be found on the Café page of MECA&D’s website. The meal plan cost will be charged to the student’s account and payments can be made using any of the payment options listed on our website. If the student is adding a meal plan during the semester, they must have been previously enrolled in a payment plan to use that as a payment option.
