 As you consider course options, you will also need to consider the issue of financing a Barnard education. We know that you want the very best, and we would like to help you consider the options. A
summary of annual fees for 2009-2010 as well as
alternative payment and federal loan options offered by Barnard are available.
In planning your budget, please note:
- All First Year students living in campus housing are required
to enroll in a Barnard Unlimited meal plan.
No other dining option meets the meal plan requirement for
first year students.
- Transfer & Visiting student residing in the Barnard Quad (Brooks, Hewitt, Reid and Sulzberger Halls), floors 2-8, are required to enroll in a Barnard
Unlimited meal plan. No other
dining option meets the meal plan requirement for upper
class students.
These requirements are outlined in
"Terms and Conditions of Residence
Hall Living." Please note that Dining Dollars alone are not considered a meal plan. If required to enroll in a plan, please complete a
Dining Services Contract after reviewing
meal plan options. Be sure to return the contract as soon as possible so that your Bursar bill will be accurate. If you are required to enroll in a meal plan, but we have not received your completed dining contract by
August 3, 2009, you will be charged for a plan chosen by the College. (If you are not required to enroll in a meal plan, you need not return a contract.) Invoices for the
fall term will be mailed in early July for resolution by
August 3 to avoid a progressive late payment fee.
Invoices for the spring semester will be mailed in early
November for payment by December 1. Late fees begin at $75;
there is no grace period.
If you prefer not to pay fall tuition and fee charges in full by the semester deadlines of
August 3 and December 1, the
Tuition Management Systems (TMS) Payment Plan at
www.afford.com/barnard
may offer you a realistic and attractive alternative.
Please apply before the deadline to avoid Barnard's escalating late payment fee. (Although the
annual 10-month TMS Plan begins on July 1, you may join later by making all past due payments.
A five month plan for spring begins on December 1. Note that late fees will be assessed after these deadlines.) If you are interested in applying for a
Federal Direct Stafford Student Loan
or a Federal
Direct PLUS
(Parent) loan, you can obtain information and applications from Barnard’s Office of Financial Aid (contact info below).
To protect your financial investment against
a serious illness or accident resulting in the withdrawal of the
student before a semester is completed, consider the
Tuition
Refund Plan. The Tuition Refund Plan is a private
insurance program that supplements Barnard's refund policy for
complete withdrawals. Subscribers are assured a refund
throughout the term even though Barnard's refund policy may have
expired at the time of withdrawal. A full 100% refund
applies to covered charges for medical withdrawals. For
more information on this optional program, visit
