 2003-2004
The costs of education at Barnard are met by tuition, income from endowment, current gifts from alumnae and other friends of the College, and grants from foundations, corporations, and government agencies. The College makes every effort to limit charges to students, but must reserve the right to set tuition and fees at the level necessary for the maintenance of a high quality of instruction.

Meal Plan Points are included with both Standard and Kosher meal plans. These points are "dollars" that are part of your meal plan and can be used like cash at any dining location at Barnard. You may use these points to purchase à la carte meals and snacks for guests and friends. Barnard's Meal Plan Points carry over from the Fall semester to the Spring semester if you remain enrolled in a Barnard meal plan in the Spring. However, Meal Plan Points remaining in your account at the end of the academic year are forfeited.
A $50.00 fee will be assessed for a drop or change of meal plan once classes begin (except first semester students). A drop or change of a meal plan will not be accepted after the second Friday of each semester. Charges will be prorated during this period. |

Convenience Points:
Convenience Points are different from Dining Points as they are not part of your meal plan. Convenience Points are "dollars" stored in your dining account much like a bank account that can be used to supplement your meal plan. They are not considered a meal plan and do not fulfill the requirement for a meal plan. One point equals one dollar in value. Convenience Points are not refundable. If you have Adobe Acrobat Reader, you can review detailed information and print an agreement form by clicking Convenience Points Contract. |

PAYMENT OF CHARGES AND FEES
All charges and fees (unless otherwise noted) are billed on a semester basis. The autumn term payment is due August 1, 2003. The spring term payment is due December 1, 2003. Payments received after these dates are subject to progressive late fees which start at $75. There is no grace period. Registration for either semester will not be complete until all College costs have been paid. In addition, failure to complete registration and program filing on time imposes progressive late fees. Occupancy of an assigned dormitory room will not be permitted until charges have been paid in full as required. Students admitted after August 1 or December 1, respectively, must pay the balance due by the first day of registration.
Financial aid grants and any loans (minus loan origination fees imposed by your lender) may be deducted from the semester charges before computation of the balance due is made.
Privileges of the College, including issuing of transcripts and diplomas and administration of examinations are not available to any student who is delinquent in the payment of her College bills. When bills are not paid in full by their due date or satisfactory arrangements for their payments have not been made with the Bursar, the student will not be allowed to register and may be required to withdraw from the College.
Delinquent accounts are referred to credit bureaus and a collection agency. In addition to any outstanding tuition, fees, room and board, students are responsible for the costs of collection including interest, penalties, collection agency fees, court costs, and attorney fees. All charges and fees are subject to change at any time at the discretion of the Board of Trustees.
Checks or money orders in payment of tuition and fees must be made in U.S. funds at a U.S. bank payable to Barnard College and should be for the exact amount of the payment due. A fee will be assessed for checks returned unpaid.
