Billing Procedures

Assessment of Tuition and Fees

For students enrolled in master’s programs, tuition is assessed on a per-credit basis for each degree or certificate program. For students enrolled in doctoral programs, dependent upon the program, tuition is assessed on a per-credit basis or is assessed by semester. Each program has a minimum number of required semesters. Students pay tuition plus applicable fees each semester they are enrolled. Please refer to tuition and fees for the minimum number of semesters in each program. Total degree program costs will vary depending on the length of time spent in a program and whether the program requires a Master’s Project, Master’s Thesis, or Dissertation.

Tuition is due at registration and does not include the cost of field study fees.

Please Note: Tuition and fee charges are subject to change each academic year, effective with the summer semester.

Tuition Billing and Payment Information

Students are expected to be enrolled full-time and follow the course curriculum outlined in their programs. Tuition and fees are based both on the program and on the number of credits a student registers for. Once the registration has been submitted in AUDirect / myAntioch, the student should proceed to the Make a Payment section and make the necessary payment.

Financial aid recipients should only pay the balance not covered by the net aid award as noted in AUDirect / myAntioch Account Activity. Contact the Office of Student Accounts if you have questions.

Acceptable financing options for outstanding balances are:

• payment by check, e-check, or credit card online in AUDirect / myAntioch, Make A Payment
• payment deferment based on pending student loans to cover the total balance due;
• enrollment in a tuition payment plan or
• approved payment from a qualified third-party payor

In most cases, tuition reimbursement from employers is not an acceptable financing option. If you have specific questions about employer-paid tuition benefits, please get in touch with the Student Accounts Office.

Registering for classes obligates the student to payment of applicable tuition, fees, and other charges. Failure to attend classes does not constitute withdrawal from Antioch or exemption from tuition payment.

A student is considered to be enrolled for the semester as of the first day of the semester as defined by the academic calendar rather than on the first scheduled class meeting day.

Annual Tax Statements

The Tax Relief Act of 1997 (TRA 97) provides an excellent opportunity for many of our students to receive significant tax savings. You may be eligible for the Lifetime Learning Credit and/or the Student Loan Interest Deduction. The Lifetime Learning Tax Credit enables eligible students to claim a tax credit for up to 20% of the first $5000 of qualified tuition and educational expenses. The Student Loan Interest Savings provides a tax credit of up to $1000 of eligible student loan interest.

The Student Accounts Office annually provides a 1098-T Tuition Statement reflecting those qualified tuition and educational expenses for the prior year. For specific tax advice or more information, please contact your tax advisor or the Internal Revenue Service.

Students can elect to receive their 1098-T Tuition Statement electronically. Proceed to AUDirect / myAntioch, Financial Information / 1098 Electronic Consent.

Third-Party Payment Procedures

It is the policy of Antioch University New England that all tuition/fee costs be paid in full by the Registration Deadline for each semester.

However, if a Third Party Payer has agreed to pay all or a portion of your tuition and fees, payment of the covered tuition/fee costs may be deferred. The Student Accounts Office requires you to submit a letter from the Third Party Payer authorizing all or part of your tuition and fees and stipulating:

• What amount is the responsibility of the Third Party, and what remains the student’s responsibility. Any portion that is the responsibility of the student must be paid in full by the Registration Deadline for each semester.
• Verification that this payment will be made directly to Antioch University New England within the first 6 weeks of the semester unless other contingencies are specifically defined and have been accepted by the Student Accounts Office.

The letter must also include:

• Third-party payer address, contact, and phone number
• Student’s name/program
• Tuition/fee amounts covered by third-Party
• Reimbursement to Antioch procedure (ie, Company PO required, Tuition bill required, etc.)
• Additional requirements for reimbursement to Antioch (ie, Course descriptions, Final grades, etc.)

No balance will be permitted to be carried over from one semester to the next. All balances must be paid in full before the next semester’s registration deadline.
