Once is a student is admitted they will have 2 weeks to register for their program in our registration portal (CVENT). Failure to register within these two weeks will result in a student losing their spot in their program and course.  

Our office requires a $800 deposit towards tuition at the time of registration but families are welcome to pay any amount over $800 at that time. Students and families will be able to access their registration portal 24/7 to pay tuition in as many or as few installments as they want up until the deadline for tuition to be paid in full. 

Our registration portal accepts all major credit cards. Please note that if you pay via credit card, you will be charged a 4.5% processing fee by the website.

Families are also able to pay tuition via check. Once your check is received and processed, your balance will update in your registration portal. 

Checks MUST be made out to "Barnard College." Please include your student's name in the memo section and mail the check to:
