Tuition
The 2026-2027 tuition rate for the Advanced Credit Program is $73 per credit hour. A typical 3-credit course will cost $219.
Make a Payment
All ACP tuition payments are processed through UMSL Student Financial Services.
ACP payments can also be mailed to the following address:
UMSL Student Financial Services Office
327 Millennium Student Center
1 University Blvd.
St. Louis, MO 63121
If mailing your payment, please include the student's name and 8-digit UMSL ID number.
Billing
The ACP does not provide an option to pre-pay at the time of registration. To pay for their courses, students must wait to be billed by the University. After registration closes, and all enrollments are processed, electronic and paper billing statements will be sent each month to the addresses that the student provided on their application. Billing statements will show the minimum balance owed, due date, and instructions on how to make a payment.
If the minimum payment is not received by the due dates outlined below, a $25 late payment fee will be added to the student's account. This late payment fee will be repeated each month that the minimum payment is not met. An additional finance charge equal to 1% of the amount due will be assessed to the student's account each month.

Reinstatement
ACP students who do not pay the full tuition amount risk having the entire semester of credit canceled. Semesters dropped for non-payment can be reinstated upon receipt of the full tuition amount. To initiate the reinstatement process, contact the ACP office at acp@umsl.edu. An ACP staff member will examine your student account, confirm the balance owed, and provide the next steps.
Students must pay the full tuition for the entire semester in order to reinstate credit. Past the official drop deadlines, students can not pick and choose which courses within a given semester they would like to reinstate. To reinstate, the student must reinstate all courses taken within a semester.
