How to Enroll

Enrollment is fast and easy. For quickest plan activation, enroll online at manhattan.afford.com today, or have your information available and call 1-800-343-0911.

Contract Example

Billing Statement

As a TMS participant, you will receive a billing statement each semester from Manhattan College. This statement should reflect your TMS payments made to date as well as your remaining contracted payments. The balance due on your statement, which includes charges for the current term, must be covered by your remaining scheduled TMS payments for that term. 

Did your monthly plan fall short?

Payments made to TMS for July 1 to November 1 must clear fall term charges; payments made December 1 to April 1 must clear spring term charges. 

Students will receive a bill for any difference due after taking remaining scheduled payments into account for the term. You may submit a payment for the difference directly to Manhattan College or adjust your TMS contract. 

Wire Transfers

Wire transfer payments are initiated at your bank. Below is the information required to provide to your bank to be sure the transfer is processed successfully.

If your bank charges a fee for the wire, you need to pay that in addition to the amount you wish to wire.  A receipt of your wire should be sent to studentaccounts@manhattan.edu or faxed to 718-862-8027 to ensure it is appropriately credited to the student tuition account in a timely manner.

Tuition Remission and Institutional Grants

If your tuition is being covered by a miscellaneous institutional grant, such as a graduate assistantship, or tuition remission (TR), the necessary forms must be completed and presented to the Student Accounts and Bursar Services office in lieu of payment by the tuition due date. Any portion the open account balance not covered by the grant or TR must also be paid by that date.

Late fees will accrue on any account where the required forms/payments are not received by the tuition deadline.

Sponsored Billing

It is the student’s responsibility to provide any third party with a copy of the billing statement. The student should inform sponsors of the tuition due date listed on the bill. Manhattan College does not currently provide third party access to billing information.

Students may visit the Student Accounts and Bursar Services office to establish a “billing address” which is different from their permanent address. Only billing statements, no other College correspondence will be sent to that address.

Tuition and fees are due prior to the start of each term even if they are being paid by a third party. If a sponsor does not pay by the due date specified, late fees will be assessed at 1.0% per month. If payment from a sponsor for the current term has still not arrived by the time of pre-registration for future terms, the student will be unable to register or access transcripts. 

It is the student’s responsibility to pay any charges or outstanding amounts not paid by the sponsor. If a sponsor fails to pay the billed amount by the designated due date, the will be responsible for payment. To determine if a sponsor has paid, please check the student account summary on self-service. If a sponsor has not paid, please contact them directly.
