Bursar Procedures
Most university charges and credits are processed through the university bursar system. Your fall semester tuition bill will be available in July. For the Accelerated MBA program, summer tuition bills will be available in May. Your fall (or summer) tuition bill must be paid to register. Any financial aid processed by our office by the deadline dates will be reflected as estimated financial aid and will reduce the amount you are required to pay to cover your semester charges. For Federal Grad PLUS and Private Loan programs; both require a separate application. Applications must be certified by our office and credit approved to be used as estimated aid towards your bursar account. Your admissions deposit (less a $50 matriculation fee) will be credited against your tuition amount. Cornell offers on-line payment with Cornell Net.Pay and a monthly installment plan.
