Date to Complete Financial Aid and Billing

As soon as possible

1. Sign the Financial Responsibility Agreement

A Financial Responsibility Agreement is a disclosure agreement between you and Fordham University that states that you agree to pay all charges that result from your registration and services you receive from the university. You will be asked to acknowledge that you understand that you are responsible to pay for all charges associated with your attendance and where applicable, residence costs at the university.  If you refuse to sign the form, your enrollment will be subject to cancellation since you are not agreeing to pay the charges which you incur as a result of the services you receive at Fordham.

You may read and sign the Financial Responsibility Agreement by logging onto my.fordham.edu.

Immediately

2. Finance your Education

The Office of Financial Services offers assistance in applying for loans and other need-based financial aid using the FAFSA. Please visit our Funding page and the Graduate Financial Aid page for more information about funding.

If you are contacted about the course requirement, please plan to complete it in a timely manner.
