Payment

You must either pay the account balance in full or be enrolled in a payment plan on or before the following payment due dates to avoid a late payment fee.

New Students

New students must pay all charges to their student account or be in good financial standing with the university by August 18 (fall semester) or January 10 (spring semester). Please contact Financial Aid if you notice that any of your awards have not been posted.

The university reserves the right to drop any student who is not in good financial standing at any point through the end of the add/drop period.  

New and Returning Students

New and continuing students who register just before the start of classes must pay their tuition, fees, and housing, if applicable, in full, less approved financial aid awards. Alternatively, they can make approved payment arrangements (degree students only) with Student Accounts at the time of registration.

Registration is not complete until payment or payment arrangements have been made. Payment for continuing and adult education and certificate students must accompany the registration.

Financial holds are placed on the records of students whose New School accounts show a past-due balance of tuition and fees. Financial holds block future registration and the release of diplomas.

Clearing a Hold

If you discover that there is a financial hold on your record, go to my.newschool.edu and look up your account details. If you have questions about the financial hold, contact us at once.

In order to clear a financial hold for a current semester, you must pay the balance in full or enroll in a current payment plan. In order to clear a financial hold due to a balance from a previous term, you must pay the balance in full. You can make payments online using the my.newschool.edu portal or by mailing a check to:
