The annual comprehensive fees are payable in four installments per year: the fall term costs in June and July, and the spring term costs in November and December.
Standard Payment Schedule 2019-2020
Payments are due by June 20 and July 19 for the fall semester, and November 20 and December 20 for the spring semester.
Bard Budget Plan
The College offers the Bard Budget Plan (BBP), which allows payments of the comprehensive fees to be made in 10 installments.
Bard College offers a four-year tuition prepayment plan to incoming first-year students who do not receive financial aid toward tuition costs. The cost of tuition for each year of the student’s four-year tenure is stabilized at the first-year amount. For those electing this option, payment of $222,264 (4 x the 2019–20 tuition of $55,566) is due by June 20, 2019. We regret that payment extensions beyond this date are not available. If a student withdraws from the College before completing four years of study, the excess credit balance is refundable. The prepayment plan applies to tuition only; room, board, and fees are payable as due. If you plan to use this payment option for the tuition cost, please complete the four-year tuition prepayment form and return it to the Student Accounts Office along with your payment.
If making a payment in office or by mail in the form of a check, money order, or cashier's check, please make it payable to Bard College and include the student's name and ID number.

When arranging a wire or electronic transfer, please remember to add this processing cost to the amount being transferred. If a wiring or electronic transfer fee retained by a bank creates a balance due on the student's account, it remains as an unpaid balance due; it is not absorbed by the College.
