Student Accounts

.January 3, 2023 — Spring 2023 invoices are due.

With all payments, please be sure to include the name of the student.

In compliance with FERPA (Family Education Rights and Privacy Act) the Student Accounts Office will NOT discuss your student account with your parent, guardian, or any other financial sponsor unless we have a signed Authorization on file. To maintain written consent to release non-directory tuition information to specific individuals on file, please sign and return The Student Accounts Office F.E.R.P.A. form to the Student Accounts Office. The Authorization will remain in effect for your entire enrollment unless you notify the School otherwise in writing.

The Student Accounts Office reserves the right to assess late fees to all accounts (including undergraduate, graduate, professional studies, and doctoral) that have not been paid by the due date. Please note that non-receipt of an invoice does not constitute an exception to the late fee policy. The student is the account holder and therefore responsible for ensuring that payments are made on or before the due date regardless of the source of funds. The student is also responsible for forwarding student account information to other parties that have agreed to make payment (i.e., parents, sponsors, etc.).

Should accounts become excessively overdue, it is the policy of Manhattan School of Music to place the account on hold. This hold will prevent you from registering for the upcoming semester, viewing your grades, receiving a copy of your transcript or your diploma. Failure to submit payment after these steps have been taken will result in our office referring your account to a collection agency. Please contact the Student Accounts Office immediately should circumstances arise to interfere with tuition payments to the School.

Timely receipt of payment is considered to be:

• Checks delivered by mail where the envelope is postmarked by the post office on or before the tuition due date
• Wire transfers initiated on or before the due date
• Flywire payments with a status of “Guaranteed” (this means Flywire received your transfer) on or before the due date
• Payments submitted to an approved payment plan on or before the due date

Late fees will be assessed for outstanding balances owed to Manhattan School of Music as indicated below.

Financial aid assistance is subtracted from the total student charges due on your Fall and Spring invoices in order to arrive at the bottom line balance for which the student is responsible. Please note that certain loans including those processed through the Department of Education’s Direct Loan Program carry origination fees charged to the borrower. This fee is subtracted from the disbursement that the School receives.

Please confirm with the Financial Aid Department or your private lender for information on fees.

Refund disbursement is approximated to commence Thursday January 27*, and continue on a weekly basis. It is the School’s policy to distribute refunds to the student, unless the student’s financial aid includes a Parent PLUS loan. Refunds may be made to the other party by notifying the Student Accounts Office by e-mail. The Student Accounts Office will notify the student that his/her refund is available for pick-up with an e-mail to the students’ MSM account. Parent refunds will be mailed to the address on record. All refunds remaining uncollected after 21 days will be mailed to the students’ Billing address on record at the time the check was prepared.

Refunds/Leaves of Absence and Withdrawals 

Students who wish to file a Leave of Absence or Withdrawal notice after the first day of classes are required to complete the appropriate form located in the Office of the Registrar. The Registrar will determine the official date. After the first day of classes, all students will be responsible for a portion of tuition and housing. The tuition due will be based upon the following schedule (any over payment will be refunded by mailed check):

20% within the first two weeks
40% within the third week
60% within the fourth week
80% within the fifth week
100% after the fifth week

Arrangements must be made with the Director of Residence Life regarding refunds of housing charges.

If you are eligible for a Health Insurance waiver, it is very important that you complete this process before the given deadline to avoid tuition payment delinquency. Please contact the Campus Health Nurse for additional details.

Please contact the Office of Residence Life for changes in resident meal plans.

Meal plan balances are carried over from the Fall to the Spring semester unless the student does not return for the Spring semester in which case the remaining money is forfeited. Any unused balance at the completion of the Spring semester is nonrefundable. Precollege Meal Plan does not expire, however, balances are forfeited once the student leaves the Precollege program.

To add more money towards your meal plan account, please follow the steps below:
