Payment Plans

Find out important payment due dates, learn about the different payment plans, and follow the procedure for requesting a refund.

When is my tuition payment due?
Total tuition charges—less confirmed financial assistance—are payable in full to the University on the following dates:
    August 1 for the fall semester
    January 6 for the spring semester.

Does the University offer any alternative financing options?
Yes. The University offers a convenient two-payment plan for the fall and spring semesters:
    Fall Semester
    One-half payment plus a $50 fee due on August 1;
    final payment due on October 15.

    Spring Semester
    One-half payment plus a $50 fee due on January 6;
    final payment due on March 15.

I would prefer to make equal monthly payments throughout the year. Does the University offer such a plan?
Yes. The University offers the Tuition Pay Plan, a monthly payment plan which lets you pay in 10 equal monthly installments. Under this plan, payments begin in May, before the fall semester, and continue until February.

For more information, go to Payment Plans.


My financial aid is more than my charges. How do I get a refund?
Refunds are given only if requested. If a credit balance results from the posting of institutional aid, you may request a refund by going to C.L.A.S.S. and following the instructions. If you do not request a refund, any credit balance will remain on account to be applied to future charges.

If a credit balance results from the posting of federal or state financial aid, the University will automatically refund this amount as required by law. If you prefer to have the credit balance from the fall semester applied to the subsequent spring semester, you should complete an Authorization to Retain Funds form. You can download this form or stop by the Office of Student Financial Services.

In some instances students may decide to withdraw or change their class registration by adding or dropping courses for a specific semester, which may make them ineligible or over-awarded for all or part of their financial aid. Please review the list below to see if any of these actions are applicable to you. If so, please contact the Office of Student Financial Services at 516.877.3080 to see if there has been or will be an adjustment to your student account.
    adding courses
    dropping courses
    have requested or will be requesting a reduction in your Stafford, PLUS, or alternative loan

What is the tuition refund policy?
Students who make a written request to withdraw from a course before the end of the semester will receive a credit for tuition (less mandatory deposits and non-refundable fees) in accordance with the schedule outlined below.

Refunds are computed as of the date the Registrar receives the request for withdrawal. The date of the request will determine the tuition liability for the semester.

All students who withdraw from the University prior to the first day of classes will receive a credit for all tuition and fees, less the mandatory withdrawal fee. (See Refund Schedule)

Nonattendance in a course does not constitute an official withdrawal.
