Payment Terms

Terms of Payment: Fall, Spring, Summer, Winter

The payment deadline is established as August 15 for the fall semester and January 15 for the spring semester. Students must have paid their tuition, room and board, and fee charges in full by these dates or have been enrolled into an approved payment plan in order to avoid late fees. Payment for Summer and Winter sessions is due prior to the start of class.

If you register on Webadvisor, you have the option to pay by credit card on Webadvisor. However, if you choose to pay by check you may do so by paying within 5 days of receiving your billing statement in the mail. Statements from the Webadvisor system are generated on a daily basis.

If your tuition is paid by your employer, we offer two options for corporate sponsorship: the Corporate Reimbursement Deferred Payment Plan and the Corporate Voucher/Direct Payment Plan.

Make a Payment

Available Fall & Spring Terms Only

The deferred payment plan allows you to make an initial 25% down payment on the total charge for the Fall or Spring term.

This initial payment is due by August 15 for the Fall term and January 15 for the Spring term.

The balance due is then paid in three consecutive monthly installments. A $45 per term application fee is assessed for those who choose this plan. The fee payment must accompany the initial payment.

SET UP A PAYMENT PLAN
If your employer pays the University directly for tuition and fees, all qualified students must present a tuition voucher to the Office of Enrollment Services at the time of their registration. If they choose to register via the web, the voucher must be submitted within 5 days of registration. To find out if your company qualifies for direct billing, please contact us at the following numbers:

Metropolitan Campus – (201) 692-2214

Students who receive tuition reimbursement from their employers at the end of a semester can enroll in the University’s convenient Corporate Reimbursement Deferred Payment Plan.

A 4% Carrying Charge applied to the entire term balance is due upon enrolling in the plan. To pay the 4% carrying charge, you may pay by mail, in person, or online through WebAdvisor. Enrollment form link is shown on this page.

Enroll in CRD payment plan

The Office of Enrollment Services no longer directly accepts credit card payments; this is a result of a change in policy made by the University. To provide you with a convenient alternative payment option, however, the University has contracted with a vendor, TouchNet, to enable you to make payments with a credit card via the internet.

Via Internet, American Express, MasterCard, Visa and Discover credit card payments will be accepted and processed by TouchNet. TouchNet will assess a service charge for the convenience of this alternative method of payment. The fee will be displayed for your review and acceptance before your payment is processed.

Residence Payment – New Jersey Campuses

Residence

The New Jersey campuses are the sites of traditional residence halls, as well as residence halls of contemporary architecture, featuring rooms grouped in suite arrangements with lounge and baths included.

The Student Union Building at the Metropolitan Campus and Student Center at the Florham Campus offer dining facilities that are open seven days a week. Dining is available on a cash or ticket basis.

The campuses are in residential communities located within commuting distance of New York City, thus making the cultural and urban advantages of Manhattan accessible.

Residence Hall Payments

The residence hall deposit of $350.00 (nonrefundable) is deducted from residence hall charges that are payable once a year, prior to the beginning of the fall semester. No reduction is made for room or board during absences. In the case of withdrawals, residence refunds are made on a prorated basis, but there will be no refund after the fifth week of a semester.
