Manhattan School of Music 130 Claremont Avenue New York, NY 10027 Attn: Student Accounts Office
Please note: The written date on checks should be the same day that they are mailed or handed to the Student Accounts Office. If submitted checks are rejected by the bank, a $30 return fee will be applied to the student’s account. No personal checks will be accepted for the effected account for a period of one year.
Manhattan School of Music is committed to providing students and their families a range of options for paying their educational expenses. Therefore, we are accepting credit card payments in person or by telephone: 917.493.4467. All credit card payments will incur a nonrefundable processing fee of 3.5% in order for MSM to recover actual costs paid to its credit card service provider. This processing fee is not greater than the applicable Merchant Discount Rate for Mastercard Credit Card Transactions at the Merchant (MSM). (Mastercard Rule 5.11.2.3(2))
We can accept credit cards under the following circumstances:
The 3.5% processing fee will be applied to payment for any item that appears on your student bill including but not limited to tuition, fees, residence hall, and meal plan.
Information on the different tuition payment options available at Manhattan School of Music.
Spring 2024 invoices are available on the MSM Student Portal as of December 1, 2023. Detailed information about your charges, required documents and payments will be sent to your MSM student email address at that time.
Please complete and return the Precollege Student Financial Responsibility Agreement to the Student Accounts Office. For more information about each option please see below.
You may pay your Precollege invoice in four- or five-monthly installments
In order to participate in either of these payment plans, you must first enroll through the CASHNet website using your six digit student ID number and MSM email address.
The four-month or five-month payment plan is effective per semester and is administered and offered through CASHNet. It breaks down the costs for the entire Spring semester (net of expected approved scholarship).
The deadline to enroll in a Spring 2024 CASHNet payment plan is January 5, 2024. Enrollment fee is $35 along with the first month payment. Method of payment – ACH (electronic fund transfer available in the US) only.
A late fee will be applied to account if FULL payment or enrollment in a Spring 2024 CASHNet payment plan is not received by January 5, 2024.
Payments can be submitted via ACH bank transfer or Credit Card (see below regarding credit card processing fee that will be charged). If you are currently enrolled in a payment plan using ACH bank transfer and need to change your payment method to credit card, you can switch at any time in the CASHNet payment portal.
ACH Payments can only be made from a U.S. domestic bank (ex: HSBC, Citibank, etc.). All payments should be made as scheduled, as there are financial consequences for late and/or missed payments. Those financial consequences include late fees and termination of the payment plan. Should a student’s payment plan be withdrawn (terminated) for any reason, full payment of the outstanding tuition balance for the semester will be due immediately to the Student Accounts Office. As always, if you are experiencing a change in your financial circumstances that affect your ability to pay, we recommend you to contact the Office of Student Accounts at your earliest convenience.
Credit Card Processing Fee Manhattan School of Music is committed to providing students and their families a range of options for paying their educational expenses. Students will be charged a processing fee by Manhattan School of Music’s third-party credit card processing vendor when making credit card payments to their CASHNet plan. This change is being made to offset the costs associated with providing the convenience of online credit card payments.
CASHNet, an independent third-party contractor, will charge a non-refundable processing fee based on the amount charged. Domestic credit card payments will incur a non-refundable processing fee of 2.75%, and international credit cards will incur a non-refundable processing fee of 4.25%. This processing fee is assessed by and paid to CASHNet; Manhattan School of Music does not receive any of this fee. The charge for the processing fee will appear separately from the payment on your card statement.
NOTE: A debit card with a credit card issuer logo will be processed as a credit card and incur the above processing fees. If you wish to make a payment from your bank account, utilize the ACH (Automated Clearing House) payment option to avoid the credit card processing fee.
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:
Precollege parents who have any questions about Financial Aid should contact the Precollege Office at 917-493-4999.
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.
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
(Week 1&2): 20% (Week 3): 30% (Week 4): 40% (Week 5): 50% (Week 6): 60% (Week 7): 70%
on or after Week 7: 100%
Note: The above dates are subject to changes due to inclement weather or other conditions that cause unexpected school closures.
No refunds will be made after the seventh week. The $100 required Reservation Deposit is nonrefundable and nontransferable. Late Fees are not refundable after classes begin.
Meal plan balances are carried over every semester. Precollege Meal Plan does not expire; however, balances are forfeited once the student leaves the Precollege program.
