• How to pay your Precollege bill

  Please visit the Precollege Payment Options page for details on how to pay your Precollege bill.

• Late Payment Fee Policy

  The Student Accounts Office reserves the right to assess late fees to all accounts 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 Accounts Office will generate Fall semester invoices in July and the Spring semester invoices in December for Precollege students. These will be available online at the MSM Student portal allowing sufficient time to make payment arrangements.

  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. 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 tuition 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 in the section below.

• Late Fee Schedule

  Spring 2023 Semester

  $100.00 assessed after January 4, 2023

   

• Financial Aid and Scholarships

  Precollege parents who have any questions about Financial Aid should contact the Precollege Office at 917-493-4999.

• Refund Policy

  If it is necessary for a student to withdraw completely from the Precollege Division or from an individual course carrying an additional charge, the Precollege Administration must be notified by e-mail to precollege@msmnyc.edu. The date on which the e-mail is received will determine the withdrawal date and how the student’s accounts will be pro-rated. Once the adjustment is made on the student’s account, a refund will be processed payable to the parent on record. The refund will be mailed to the most current address given to the Precollege Division. After the first day of classes, refunds may be reduced by pro-rated charges according to the section below.

• Leave of Absence/Withdrawals

  Requests for Leave of Absences or withdrawals must be made via e-mail to precollege@msmnyc.edu. The date on which the e-mail is received will determine the withdrawal date and how the student’s account will be pro-rated. Students withdrawing after the first day of classes will be responsible to pay for fees and a portion of the tuition. Students with financial aid will receive a percentage of their allocated scholarship according to their withdrawal date. The tuition and scholarship will be pro-rated based on the following schedule:

  Pro-ration Schedule:

  % of Charges Responsible by Date
  

  09/9/23 to 09/29/23(Week 1&2): 20%
  09/30/23 to 10/06/23(Week 3): 30%
