Have your student ID number or process reference number ready if the school has already assigned one to you. If you have not yet started your process, bring any documents the school asks for on their process form, though you can often complete the form itself online or on paper at the admissions office.

Call the admissions office before you visit to confirm the current process fee amount, since fees can change. This also gives you a chance to ask which payment methods they accept — some schools accept cash and cards but not checks, or vice versa. The phone number should be on the school's website or in any materials they sent you.

When the Admissions Office Is Open

Van Nuys Gurnick's admissions office keeps standard business hours, typically Monday through Friday during daytime hours. Hours may be shorter on Fridays or may close for lunch, so check the school's website or call ahead before making the trip. If you work during the day, ask whether the office stays open past 5 p.m. on any weekdays, or whether they have Saturday hours.

If you cannot visit during regular hours, you do not have to pay in person — the school accepts payment by mail and online as well. Those methods take longer to process, but they work if your schedule does not line up with office hours.

How to Confirm Your Payment Was Received

Ask for a written receipt before you leave the admissions office. The receipt should show the date, the amount paid, and confirmation that it was received by Van Nuys Gurnick. Write down the name of the staff member who took your payment, in case you need to follow up later. Keep the receipt with your process materials.

After you pay, the admissions office should update your process status within one to three business days.

If you do not see a confirmation within a week, call the admissions office to verify they recorded your payment.

What Happens After You Pay

Once the admissions office records your payment, your process moves forward in their review process. The timeline from payment to a decision varies by program — some programs review applications on a rolling basis and notify you within a few weeks, while others wait until an process important date and review all submissions together. The school should have told you the expected timeline when you started your process.

You will receive your decision by email or mail, depending on how the school communicates with applicants. If you have questions about your process status after you pay, contact the admissions office directly — they can tell you where your file stands and what to expect next.

If you are unsure which method to use, the admissions office can walk you through each one. In-person payment is not required; it is straightforward one option among three.
