Students can now make electronic check payments online using a U.S. checking or U.S. savings account. No more writing checks! We encourage you to use this method of payment to avoid a convenience fee assessed on credit or debit card payments. Effective February 23, 2024, the PayPath fee for international transactions will increase from 2.95 percent to 4.25 percent. In addition, effective May 5, 2025, the PayPath fee for domestic transactions will increase from 2.95 percent to 3.00 percent.

We recommend submitting a paper check payment to our office 14 business days or more before the payment due date of the term to allow for official clearance of the check.   

Returned Check Policy
All checks returned from the bank are automatically redeposited for payment. If for any reason a check does not clear for payment after being deposited a second time, a penalty of $30 is charged to the student's account. The university cannot presume that the student has withdrawn from classes because the check has not cleared or has been stopped; payment and penalty remain due. Payment for the amount of the returned check and the $30 returned check fee must be made with a certified bank check or money order; another personal check will not be accepted.

An additional 10 percent penalty is charged if payment for a returned check is not received within five business days. After a second returned check, all future charges must be paid with a certified bank check or money order. Personal checks will no longer be accepted from the student. If it becomes necessary to forward an account to a collection agency, an additional 10 percent penalty will be charged on the remaining account balance.

The New School has partnered with PayMyTuition to make it safe and convenient for international students to pay their tuition using their local currency.

We offer four- and five-month tuition payment plans for degree students each fall and spring semester (one payment plan is allowed per semester). The fee for enrolling in either of these plans is $60, and you must re-enroll for each semester you want to use the plan. The plan option will divide your total term balance for tuition, fees, and housing into equal monthly payments. The plan does not charge interest. If adjustments or additional payments are made to the account, the plan will automatically recalculate within one business day.

Forms of Payment

• Mastercard, Visa, Discover, and American Express.
• Electronic checking or savings from a U.S. bank account.
• Wire transfers: We accept wire transfers as a payment option for the monthly payment plan, but the enrollment fee of $60 must be paid through electronic checking or savings (U.S. bank account only) or a credit card (MasterCard, Visa, Discover, or American Express).

Please initiate your monthly wire transfer five to seven business days before the installment deadline to ensure that your payment is reflected on time. We request that students email the wire transfer bank confirmation to [email protected], or fax the bank confirmation to 212.989.9361 along with the their full name and New School ID numbers. This allows us to better identify the wire when it is received.

A convenience fee will apply to all credit and debit card payments made to a student account. Payments are automatically charged to your saved payment method on the first of the month if you have scheduled the payment. You do not need to log in to make a payment.

Effective February 23, 2024, the PayPath fee for international transactions will increase from 2.95 percent to 4.25 percent. In addition, effective May 5, 2025, the PayPath fee for domestic transactions will increase from 2.95 percent to 3.00 percent.

Due Dates for First Installment
