If there is a debit balance after calculation of all anticipated charges and payments, students should make payments for the balances by the appropriate deadline (last week in August for fall term and second week in January for spring term). Payments can be made in person at the Cashier’s window in 210 Kent Hall or mailed to Columbia University, P.O. Box 19007, Newark, New Jersey 07195-9007.

After the payment due date is past, a one-time late payment charge ($150) and late payment fees (1% per month) may be assessed on the unpaid balance.

Fellowships and loan proceeds are credited to student accounts following the registration period. Late payment charges or late fees may be assessed on remaining charges not covered by fellowship or financial aid.
