Manhattanville College is a private college offering undergraduate and graduate degrees in Purchase, New York. Founded in 1841 at 412 Houston Street in lower Manhattan, it was known initially as Academy of the Sacred Heart, then later as Manhattanville College of the Sacred Heart after 1847. In 1917, the academy received a charter from the Regents of the State of New York to raise the school officially to a collegiate level granting degrees as the College of the Sacred Heart. The school moved to its current location further north, in a suburb beyond New York City in Purchase, New York, in 1952. It is near the hamlet of Harrison in Westchester County.

Approximately 1,600 undergraduate and 900 graduate students attend Manhattanville, with students coming from 45+ countries and 35+ American states.[1]

The architectural and administrative centerpiece of the Manhattanville campus is Reid Hall (1864) which was named after Whitelaw Reid, publisher and owner of the New-York Tribune, one of the leading newspapers in the nation for a century. On either side of Reid Hall stand academic buildings on one side and on the other residence halls around a central quad designed by the landscaping / architect Frederick Law Olmsted, also the designer of New York’s landmark Central Park in the 1850s and 1860s. The Manhattanville community regards the central quad and buildings as representing the academic vision of the college’s commitment to integrated learning and centered strengths. Other historic buildings include the Lady Chapel, the President’s Cottage known as the Barbara Debs House, the old Stables, and Water Tower.

Course registration by a student constitutes acceptance of responsibility by the student, and the parent or guardian (in the case of a dependent student), to pay all charges on a timely basis as billed by the College. The College reserves the right to withhold issuance of degrees, diplomas, grades, transcripts, recommendations, and to bar or cancel registration, residency, or any other form of association with the College until all student charges are paid in full.

Tuition and fee charges are assessed on a semester basis; all students, and parents or guardians of dependent students are responsible for paying all charges when due for the entire semester.

A late payment fee will be assessed if payments are made after a bill’s payment due date. Delinquent accounts that are placed into collection  will be charged for all related costs plus interest. Collection fees can be up to 33 1/3% of an outstanding balance.

All student accounts receivable balances are due and payable according to billing schedule (please see Important Dates).  Accounts are the responsibility of the student and it is therefore incumbent upon the student to see that accounts are kept current. Financial Aid, which is approved and confirmed, may be applied when received. Therefore, a student receiving State grants, Federal Aid or other forms of aid which may not be available at the beginning of the semester, may deduct that amount from the balance due at the beginning of the semester.
Accounts must be paid in full (with the exception of student aid as described above) prior to registration. 

• Full Time Undergraduate students who have not made arrangements to pay their accounts prior to the beginning of the semester may not start classes, occupy their residence hall room or access the dining hall under a meal-plan.
• Students may not pre-register for the following semester if their account is not current at the time of pre-registration.
• Students will not be allowed to participate in the residence hall room lottery if their accounts are not current.
• Graduating students may not be allowed to participate in Commencement ceremonies without making arrangements to have their account paid in full by that time. Any payment made within two weeks of Commencement must be made by cash, credit card, or certified check.
• Official and unofficial transcripts and/or diplomas will not be available to students with unpaid account balances.
