Payments
All students must pay tuition and any fees in full when they submit their Winter Session course-enrollment form. Payment may be submitted in person or through the mail by check, money order, or interbank wire transfer (see below).
If you have an outstanding indebtedness to the university, you will not be allowed to register, obtain a transcript, have academic credits certified, be granted a leave of absence, or receive a degree until the indebtedness is satisfactorily cleared with the Office of the Bursar. Students who pay the bursar in advance, or who pay an outstanding debt to Cornell, must present a Bursar's Release form when registering.
The amount, time, and manner of payment of tuition and fees, and other charges, may be changed at anytime and without notice.
Checks
Checks for payment of tuition will be accepted only if they are:
- made payable to "Cornell University"
- drawn on banks located in the United States, and
- payable in U.S. dollars.
- Mail checks to: Cornell University Winter Session; B20 Day Hall; Ithaca NY 14853-2801
Checks returned for insufficient funds are charged a $25 returned check fee (to be replaced by cash, cashier's check, or U.S. money order). Students are also charged any applicable late fees incurred as a result.
Interbank wire transfers
Please contact our office for the information necessary to make an interbank wire transfer. When making a wire transfer, be certain to include the student's full name and the Cornell six-digit ID number (if available). If the student is enrolling in a special program, provide the name of the special program as well.
