Residential Life Payment Policy: Dorm and meal plan charges must be paid in full by the student, prior to the move-in date.

Resident students are offered two types of payment options for their room and board charges. Both payment options require that the student makes payment in full, prior to the semester move-in-date:

Payment Option One: Students have the option of paying out-of-pocket for their room and board charges by the semester bill due date.

Payment Option Two: Students may request that their excess approved financial aid funds help cover all, or part of the costs of room and board. However, for financial aid funds to be considered, all financial aid documents must be in place, Master Promissory Note (MPN) signed, and loan approval received, by the Office of Financial Aid. Students should inform the Office of the Bursar when choosing payment Option Two.

Financial Aid Processing Tip: When applying for Federal Direct Parent Loan (PLUS) and/or Alternative Student Loan (ALT), students are encouraged to apply for the PLUS loan and/or ALT loan at least 45 days prior to the start of the semester.

Resident Hall Advisors: Payment waivers for resident hall advisors (RAs) are processed by the Office of Residence Life. If a student is expecting a resident hall waiver and it is not reflected on the student account, please contact the Director of Residence Life.

Please direct your room and board questions to the Residence Life Office at 516.678.5000 etc. 6216.
