Don't leave money on the table! Apply for financial aid. To start this process, complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to determine your eligibility. Just put the LIM College school code 007466 on your form and we'll automatically get a copy of your FAFSA.

For more details on the types of financial aid that may be available to you and how to apply for it, visit our financial aid page.

All students must be financially cleared to attend classes. "Financially cleared" means you have either paid your tuition or have plans on record with the Office of Student Financial Services that demonstrate you will have the funds in place to pay your tuition (that can be through a combination of grants, loans, scholarships, a payment plan, etc.).

Shortly after you receive an admissions decision, you will receive an email with login instructions to access your LIM College email. 

Be sure to check your LIM College email account regularly for important updates about Orientation, registration, and more.

If you need help with your email account, contact LIM's IT Help Desk at 646-218-2190 or by email at itsupport@limcollege.edu.

All incoming students must be financially cleared by the Office of Student Financial Services before you can attend class.

Financial clearance requires that 100% of your first semester tuition and fees be paid or covered with confirmed financial aid funds and/or third-party payments (i.e., 529 plan funds, GI Bill® Veteran’s Benefits, etc.).

Options for payment to ensure financial clearance:

1. Financial Aid: Please review all financial aid awards in our NetPartner portal. If you are accepting your entire package as is, you do not need to do anything further. If you would like to decline the entire package or parts of your package, please log on to the NetPartner portal; in the award module, using the drop-down box, indicate the award(s) you are declining or decreasing. All accepted, approved, and confirmed financial aid funds for the semester will be applied as anticipated credit toward your charges.

Please note, all required financial aid documents must be completed in order for the Office of Student Financial Services to apply anticipated aid to your account. Additionally, all credit-based loans must be fully credit-approved, and all required documents for disbursement must be submitted.

Complete a Direct Student Loan Master Promissory Note on the Federal Student Aid website (MPN and online Loan Entrance Counseling, which are both required for all students borrowing Direct Loans.

Graduate Students borrowing a Federal PLUS Loan should visit the Direct Loan page to apply for the loan and complete a Master Promissory Note (MPN) Loan Agreement.
