Tuition Payment Policy
Tuition and fees are due and payable on or before the first scheduled day of classes each semester. Satisfactory payment arrangements must be established by the first day of class to avoid a $150.00 late fee. Satisfactory payment arrangements include payment in full (Medaille College accepts payment by cash, check, money order, Master Card, Visa, Discover Card or American Express), completion of financial aid/student loans, enrollment in the monthly payment plan through Tuition Management Systems or documentation of employer reimbursement. A combination of payment arrangements may be utilized. Please be advised that prior semester balances cannot be carried over to the next semester and will prohibit a student from registering for the next semester, receiving his/her grades, transcripts or diploma.
Should a student need to establish a monthly payment plan he/she would need to do so through Tuition Management Systems (TMS), an outside payment arrangement service. TMS is an interest free monthly payment option, with an annual enrollment fee of $65.00 or a $45.00 enrollment fee for the semester based plan. A student’s expenses are broken out over the academic period for which, they are/will be enrolled in. For example, if a student is anticipated to be attending for the academic year their budget would be estimated based on the Fall and Spring semesters and he/she would be eligible for a nine or ten month payment plan. If a student were planning on attending for only one semester, he/she would be eligible for a four or five month plan. The term of the payment plan would be based on the date of registration and limited to offered plan options. Students are responsible for establishing the proper budget base upon the cost of attendance and financial aid/loans if applicable. Students should contact the Medaille College Business Office for additional information or for help in determining their budget. If a student is receiving financial aid/loans, they are able to amend their payments to TMS, through the Medaille College Business Office. All scheduled payments must be made to TMS until the financial aid/loans are guaranteed. It is the student’s responsibility to inform Medaille College of any awards and the college will then inform TMS, of any revisions to the budget.
A student receiving employer tuition reimbursement is required to provide the College with a letter from their employer prior to the first scheduled day of classes identifying the employee-student and the terms of the employer’s reimbursement policy. Assuming the necessary documentation has been received, Medaille College will recognize the employer’s tuition payment policy and defer receipt of tuition and/or fees accordingly. Future semester deferments are only available to students who fulfill their payment obligations in accordance with the employer reimbursement plan. Failure to do so will result in a $150.00 late fee assessment to the student’s account.
Students owing a balance or whose financial aid has not been completed and are not registered with TMS will be expected to pay the balance of their tuition for the semester in full (minus any financial aid), by the first day of class. Students opting to pay their tuition in full, rather than utilizing the TMS payment plan and who fail to make their payment, by the first day of class will be assessed a $150.00 late charge.
Please do not hesitate to contact the Medaille College Business Office at (716) 880-2267, 880-2271 or 880-2309, with any questions regarding this payment policy.
