WHEN WILL I RECEIVE A BILL?

The first billing for Fall semester is mailed in the second week of July.  If you do not receive your bill by the end of July, and have paid an enrollment deposit earlier than July, please contact the Student Accounts Office at 718-405-3297 or 718-405-3298.  Students who submit an enrollment deposit AFTER the 2nd week of July will need to contact the Student Accounts Office for payment instructions.  You will also receive periodic billings throughout each semester. PLEASE READ THESE BILLS CAREFULLY.  Estimated aid, which has not been awarded by the end of each semester will no longer be considered a credit to the account and will need to be addressed either with the Financial Aid Office of the Student Accounts Office.

WHAT WILL THE BILL LOOK LIKE?

The bill will list all charges and payments made prior to the date the bill was printed.  It will also indicate the MEMO EXPECTED aid for the semester. It is      important to note that this is an ESTIMATE, which is why it will be necessary to read the bills carefully when you receive them.   Stafford Loans will appear as anticpated aid.  Parent Plus loans, Signature Loans and many outside scholarship will NOT appear on the bill until the money has actually been received.  Should you be applying for any of these loans, plase apply EARLY as you will need to make payment arrangments for any outstanding balance not covered by and APPROVED revenue source before classes begin.  Also remember, most lending institutions charge a 3%  fee which will be deducted from the proceeds received by the college.

HOW MUCH SHOULD I PAY AND WHEN IS IT DUE?

If there is no additional aid to be deducted and/or you have not made arrangments for a payment plan (see below), you will be required to pay the balance IN FULL by the first week of August (Fall Semester).  Evidence of a payment plan in effect will suffice to clear a student's account.  Failure to clear an account will result in the fall registration being cancelled.

  HOW DO I PAY MY BALANCE?

1) By mail with a check, money order, or credit card

2) In person with any of the above, or in cash

3) Enroll in a payment plan with Tuition Management Services  (1-800-356-8329).  They can arrange either an annual, or semester based plan for you.  It is more economical to make payments on an annual basis, as only one administrative fee will be charged.      

WHAT ELSE SHOULD I KNOW ABOUT TUITION MANAGMENT SERVICES?

When creating your budget for your Tuition Managment Services payment plan, remember to include the College of Mount Saint Vincent Orientation Fee, the Student Activity Fee, and the Technology Fees.  Late payments and returned checks will incur additional fees.  More than two late payments in a row will result in cancellation of the plan, and your balance will be immediately due IN FULL to the College.
