Students may pay their tuition all at once directly to the Student Accounts Office or in increments through our payment plan provider. Below are the details for paying at once; information on our offered payment plans for college students can be found on our office webpage.

The Student Accounts Office accepts payments by check, money order, and wire transfer/ACH. Check or money order payments should be mailed to:

Manhattan School of Music
130 Claremont Avenue
New York, NY 10027
Attn: Student Accounts

International wire transfers should be sent using the process provided by Flywire. For domestic wires, the needed details can be requested by emailing bursar@andadoor.com

Students paying through Flywire (international wires) can log in to their Flywire account and track the progress of their payment. Students paying through a payment plan can log in to the CashNet website to verify installments were paid.

There may be a delay between when payments are received and when they are posted to your student account; however, we encourage ALL students to refer to the “My Account Balances” link on the student portal regularly as posted payments will display there real-time.

Room or Meal Plan Error
If you would like to change your resident meal plan or rooming assignment, you must contact residencelife@andadoor.com. If the change is approved, we encourage you to submit a copy of your current invoice with a note regarding this change and pay the expected balance for your correct resident charges.

Health Insurance
Domestic students who are already covered may be eligible to waive the School’s insurance. An application for waiver must be submitted using the instructions sent by email from the insurance company. Once submitted, the company will notify you if your waiver was approved or declined. In the meantime, you may submit a copy of your current invoice with a note of your intention to waive and exclude the insurance amount from your payment. Note: If you don’t submit your waiver application or it is declined you will be required to pay for the insurance fee.
