Declined Payments & Late Fees

Monthly tuition is automatically processed on the 25th of the prior month, beginning July 25th.

If a credit or debit card payment is declined, an automatic email notification will be sent. Families should log in to the Parent Portal to update billing information and submit payment.

If payment is not made within 48 hours, MPSD will attempt to process the payment again on the 27th of the month at noon. No late fee will be charged for the first declined payment attempt.

If the payment declines a second time, another email notification will be sent, and a $20 late fee will be added to the account.

Bank Account Payments, NSF Fees & Late Fees

Families who choose to pay using a bank account or routing/account number are responsible for ensuring that funds are available at the time payment is processed.

If a bank account transaction is declined or returned due to Non-Sufficient Funds (NSF) or for any other reason, a $35 NSF fee will be added to the account for each occurrence. This fee covers the cost charged to MPSD by the bank.

If the payment is returned or declined a second time, a $20 late fee will also be added to the account.

All account balances, including NSF and late fees, can be paid through the Parent Portal at any time.
