# Tuition ### General Information Information on program costs and payment terms is available on the website of the [Office of Student Financial Services](https://icahn.mssm.edu/education/financial-aid). The Bursar’s Office, which is a part of the Office of Student Financial Services, maintains student account balances and collects payments for tuition and fees. All financial obligations must be met by payment deadlines. An outstanding balance will result in a financial hold, which restricts access to future course registration, as well as to other services available to enrolled students, and may result to limitations to access to transcripts and/or diplomas to the extent permitted by law. Tuition and fees are subject to change without notice by the Board of Trustees. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
