Payments

Payment of course tuition is expected to be paid by the Friday before the start of each session.

Session 1 and Extended Session O: May 31, 2024
Session 2: July 5, 2024

The Summer School reserves the right to drop students who have not paid by the enrollment deadline in order to make room for students on course waiting lists. If students anticipate a delay in their tuition payment, extensions will be granted by emailing summerschool@brandeis.edu.

Payment plans are not available for the Summer School.

Student Account Balances

Brandeis Summer School Registration opens April 2, 2024, however we can not display Summer Charges in Nelnet until our Spring 2024 monthly payment plan ends in mid-April. NOTE: There is NO Monthly Payment Plan Available for Summer term.

If you know what your charges will be and want to pay your balance before charges post, you can select to make a one time payment in Spring 2024 by e-check or credit card. The payment will show as a Spring payment but it will apply to your Summer charges when the Summer tuition charges post. Any past due spring balance will be paid first.

Please note that billing statements are not issued to the billing address on file in Workday for the summer. Student account balances should be viewed directly in Workday.

Check or Money Order

You may drop off a check or money order to the Office of Student Financial Services in Usdan. Checks should be made payable to "Brandeis University." Be sure to include the name of the student in the memo field of the check. If mailing a check, please email the Summer School Office with your name and Workday Student ID number so we know your tuition payment will be arriving shortly. Your check can be mailed to:

Student Financial Services — MS 027
Brandeis University
415 South Street
Waltham, MA 02453-2728

Do not send payments to University Lock Box in New York City, as your payment will be delayed.

Electronic check withdrawal from U.S. checking or savings accounts (e-check) and Credit Cards

Credit card and electronic payments can be made through your Student Account Center in SAGE. Once in the Student Account Center (accessed through Workday for students, or through brandeis.afford.com for parent participants) you will see the option to make payments on due charges.

No fees apply to the direct withdrawal from checking/savings accounts (e-check). E-check payments returned unpaid by your bank are subject to the $30 returned check fee.

Credit cards accepted are Discover, MasterCard, Visa and American Express. The credit card processor charges a service fee on all credit card payments. This service fee is not collected by Brandeis and is non-refundable. The charge will appear as "TMS Gateway" on your credit card statement.

Wire Transfer Options

Please note that there is often a delay in receipt of payment through wire transfers. Students submitting wire transfers are asked to forward a copy of the wire transfer receipt to summerschool@brandeis.edu to confirm their transaction.

Flywire Wire Transfer

Brandeis has partnered with Flywire to provide our international students with an easy and secure method to send international payments in your home currency through your Student Account Center. Please visit the Brandeis Flywire page for information.

Flywire allows you to:

Pay from almost any country and any bank
Avoid unexpected bank fees and ensure the best exchange rate with Flywire’s Best Price Guarantee

Please note: We can only accept wire funds for charges billed on the student’s Brandeis sage account. The student or proxy should confirm the balance due through sage self service prior to initiating a wire.

Wires received through Flywire or sent directly to Brandeis in excess of billed charges will be rejected.

The funds will be returned to the sender's bank account. If Brandeis incurs a fee for the rejected wire, the fee will be deducted from the returned funds or posted to the student's account. You will be required to resend your wire for the correct, billed amount and may be subject to late fees, registration holds and withdrawal if the balance is late. Brandeis must be informed in writing, prior to receipt of the wire, if you are sending payment for future tuition charges. Payments received for future tuition charges will not be refunded to the student unless the student withdraws from the university. Funds for personal and off-campus living expenses must be sent to the student's personal bank account.

Western Union Payment

Brandeis University has partnered with Western Union Business Solutions, a specialist in global business payments to provide you with a simple and low cost method of paying fees to Brandeis in your own currency. This payment option may offer significant savings compared to a traditional wire from your bank directly to Brandeis.

Please note: We can only accept wire funds for charges billed on the student’s Brandeis Workday account. The student or proxy should confirm the balance due through sage self service prior to initiating a wire. Wires received through Western Union or sent directly to Brandeis in excess of billed charged will be rejected. The funds will be returned to the sender's bank account. If Brandeis incurs a fee for the rejected wire, the fee will be deducted from the returned funds or posted to the student's account.

You will be required to resend your wire for the correct, billed amount and may be subject to late fees, registration holds and withdrawal if the balance is late. Brandeis must be informed in writing, prior to receipt of the wire, if you are sending payment for future tuition charges. Payments received for future tuition charges will not be refunded to the student unless the student withdraws from the university. Funds for personal and off-campus living expenses must be sent to the student's personal bank account.

Student Loans

If you are a current Brandeis undergraduate and qualify for loans as confirmed by your financial aid advisor in Student Financial Services, a notation is added to your financial record to prevent you from being dropped from your courses before loan funds are received.

Working closely with the Financial Aid Office, we will seek confirmation that you have completed all steps to qualify for loan funding.

Brandeis Summer School 2024 Financial Aid

Financial aid for Summer School 2024 is available in the form of need-based grants/scholarships and/or loans for Brandeis University undergraduate students who are active, full-time matriculants in a degree program. (Funding is not available to visiting students, students matriculated for a term that starts after Summer 2024, or students currently graduated, withdrawn, or are on leave). Please visit the Office of Student Financial Services for more information on the Summer School grant aid available.

This need-based Summer School aid is available for course tuition for Summer School courses and does not apply to optional on-campus housing or dining plans. This Summer School aid also does not apply to courses offered by the Heller School, Graduate School of Arts and Sciences (GSAS), Rabb Graduate and Professional Studies or the Brandeis International Business School (IBS).

Please note: Summer courses are also offered at a reduced rate when compared to the same course taken during the regular academic year. Many students find Summer School courses to be an economical way to advance toward graduation.

Brandeis Employees or Dependents Receiving Tuition Remission

If you or a family member is eligible for tuition remission, please submit the Human Resources approval forms at your earliest convenience.

Employees enrolled in Summer School courses should submit their forms to the University Registrar either in person or electronically. Please be sure to provide contact information should additional data be needed to establish a new student record. The Registrar's Office will forward submitted forms to the Summer School.

Dependents seeking tuition remission should submit their forms electronically by sending them to summerschool@brandeis.edu.

In all cases, the Summer School will submit completed tuition remission forms to Human Resources. A single point of contact will insure prompt approval and application of appropriate credits.

Payment Extensions

Students seeking financial aid, whose families are making a withdrawal from a 529 investment account, or are using a wire transfer or applying for tuition remission, may request a payment extension. In all cases, documentation of the payment methods is required.

A copy of the request for 529 payments and a receipt for a wire transfer is required. For students seeking financial aid, we will check with financial aid officers to confirm that all loan forms have been completed. The Summer School will retain a copy of all tuition remission requests. Failure to provide documentation in a timely manner may result in canceled enrollments.

Questions Regarding Payment

Parents and guardians are encouraged to work with their student to obtain information regarding their Summer School enrollments and payments. The Summer School will be limited in what it is able to share in accordance with the Federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act.
