Payment Plan
The Payment Plan prorates costs over a 10-month or 12-month period. By using the Plan,
students and families avoid having to make large payments at the beginning of each
semester. If you have questions regarding the Plan, please contact Student Administrative
Services at 413-796-2080. We will be happy to assist you.
