The application fee

What this screen is for

You reach this page after the last page of the form. The application fee is the flat amount shown on the page, in US dollars, with no surcharge. Your application is submitted as soon as the fee is paid or waived. Your answers are saved: you can leave this page and come back to it from your application.

On this screen

Cards

• Application fee — your application reference and name, the fee and the Total to pay online.
• Pay online — pay with PayPal or with a debit or credit card. The payment is handled by PayPal; your card details are never stored by the school.
• Have a fee-waiver code? — for a code you received at a recruitment event or from the Office of Admissions.
• Request a fee waiver — ask the Office of Admissions to waive the fee. While you wait, an amber line says "Waiver requested". If the request is declined, the page shows the note from Admissions. You can still pay or enter a code at any time.

Fields

• I authorize this payment… — tick this box before you pay.
• Waiver code — the code, typed exactly as you received it.
• Reason (optional) — for a waiver request: a sentence or two on why the fee is a hardship.

Buttons

• PayPal and card buttons — open the secure payment window.
• Pay … with PayPal → (the button names the amount) — opens PayPal to pay. It works once the box is ticked.
• Apply waiver code — checks the code. If it is valid, the fee is waived and your application is submitted.
• Request a fee waiver — sends your request to the Office of Admissions.
• ← Back to review — returns to the review page of the form.
• ← Back to your receipt — shown when your application is already submitted.

After a payment, a page confirms Payment received with the payment reference, and says that your application has been submitted. If the payment was cancelled or did not go through, nothing was charged: click ← Back to the application fee and try again.
