Policy for Non-Payment

What is the Newmark J-School’s policy for non-payment of my tuition and fees balance?

All students need to pay their tuition and fees in full or make payment arrangements before the start of classes. By the end of the second day of classes, if you have not made such arrangements, you will receive an email from the Newmark J-School Finance Office indicating the following ramifications:

  1. If by the end of the fourth day of the semester, arrangements to pay your tuition have not been made, your class schedule will be canceled. Schedules can be reinstated when payment plans have been made, as long as there remains space in classes. Keep in mind you must re-enroll in classes before the add/drop deadline for the semester, which is typically one week into the semester.

  2. If by the add/drop deadline date, payment arrangements still have not been made, you will no longer be considered enrolled in the Newmark J-School. Thus your Newmark J-School ID Card will be deactivated, and you will not have access to the building or the campus.

Additionally, you will need to file a readmission form to re-enroll. Students should note readmission will be considered for the semester following the one a student's enrollment was cancelled, i.e. if a student's schedule is cancelled in the Fall, a student can be readmitted in the Spring.

  1. If you still have an unpaid balance six months after the end of the semester, the school will send your account to an external collection agency.
