All payments should include the student's full name, and either the MIT ID or Social Security Number for proper application to the student's account. Bills are printed mid-month and payment is due in the middle of the following month. Payments must be in the student account, not mailed, by the payment due date noted on each statement. If you do not receive your bill, you are still responsible for payment of the balance due.
Checks are the preferred means of payment .
MIT does not accept payment by credit card. Payments that are mailed should be by check and should include the top portion of your student account statement. The payment envelope included in your statement is addressed to our bank lockbox facility. Include the student's full name, MIT ID or Social Security Number, home country address, the term being paid, and the degree program and department. Contact your Student Account Counselor once you have sent a wire to confirm the amount, the name of the sending organization, and the date.
