Credits Which May Be Applied Toward the Bill
Loans
Loans often have origination fees which will be deducted prior to disbursement to your account.
Outside Scholarships
Outside scholarships may be deducted from the bill as long as a copy of the scholarship letter has been provided to the Financial Aid Office. Be sure that the scholarship is being applied to the same semester that is shown on the bill. Outside scholarships may affect financial aid amounts depending on your need. Questions should be referred to the Financial Aid Office at 508-941-7052.
To deduct financial assistance expected from any source outside of the School, you must provide a copy of payment authorization from the funding source. Authorization must include:
- Dollar value of assistance.
- Method or schedule of payment.
- Full name and address of funding source.
Credits Which May Not Be Deducted From the Bill
- Student/Parent Loans: These loans may not be deducted from the bill until the Financial Aid Office receives approval from the bank. Once approved it will appear as an estimated loan.
- Massachusetts State Scholarships: If an assumed General Scholarship does not appear as a credit on the bill, you may not deduct any amount from the bill.
- Work-Study Awards: These will not be deducted from the bill until earned.
- Financial Aid Appeals: These appeals do not guarantee that an additional award will be given and may not be used to justify paying less than the total due on the bill.
Your payment is due by the due date indicated on your bill.

Returned Checks
Any check returned or refused by your bank will result in a $25 charge, and you will no longer be ALLOWED to pay via personal check. All future payments will need to be made via debit card, credit card or money order.
Registration Cancellation and Withdrawal for Undergraduates
Non-attendance does not relieve you of your financial obligation or entitle you to a refund.
If you decide not to attend the School, the charges on your bill remain your obligation unless you properly withdraw from the School. If you withdraw by the first week of classes, you will not incur liability. After that, reversal of charges will be in accordance with the schedule listed in the Finance Policies & Procedures section.
You will need to speak with the Financial Aid Office if you received loans to discuss the implications of reversals.
