Hampshire College

Student bill payments are due August 1 for the fall 2009 semester and January 1 for the spring 2010 semester. Late payments will jeopardize your registration and enrollment status, and will place a hold on your account, which will prevent you from:

• pre-registering for courses;
• participating in field study, leave exchange or leaves of absence;
• using the college bookstore;
• or obtaining a transcript or degree.

Federal regulations on the right to privacy require that bills be in the student's name; therefore, the student bears the responsibility for payment.

Please review the following methods of payment. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions regarding these options. Realize that you may pay your bill using several of these options.

1. Check/Money Order: You may make a payment directly to the college in the form of a check or money order payable to the Trustees of Hampshire College.
2. Monthly Payment Plan: You may contract with Tuition Management Systems (TMS) to pay your bill over a period of time from ten to 12 months. The payment plan is interest free and may be an alternative to borrowing. You may visit their website at www.afford.com/hampshire or by phone at 800.722.4867.

4. Credit Card Payments:

• We accept VISA, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express for payments, but we do not accept debit cards at this time.
• Students may make a credit card payment anytime on TheHub.
• Parents and other individuals may make a credit card payment during business hours by calling Student Financial Services or anytime by going onto TheHub and selecting "Make a One-Time Payment" from the Parent Access menu. You must have the student's name, date of birth, and social security number to make a one-time payment. Please note that you will not be able to see a student's account statement using this option. To view a complete account statement for a student, see "E-Billing" below.
• Parents and other individuals who have been enrolled in e-billing by a student can go onto TheHub to view a complete account statement and make a credit card payment anytime. For more information and instructions on e-billing, please view the e-billing page.

5. Wire Transfer Payment: You may wire a payment to us from your financial institution. Be sure to inquire about any applicable fee for this service. To make a wire transfer you will need our bank routing information, which can be obtained by calling us at 413.559.5484.
6. Work Study Payroll Deduction: Students may elect to have a portion of their work study wages applied directly to their bill. The payment will be deducted from their bi-weekly paycheck. We recommend limiting the total deduction to no more than $500 per semester. Please contact student financial services for the forms for payroll deduction.
