Tuition
Tuition rates for undergraduate students are established by the Board of Trustees of The City University of New York. All fees and tuition charges listed in this bulletin and in any registration materials issued by the College are subject to change without prior notice by action of the Board of Trustees of The City University of New York.
In the event of any increase in fees or tuition charges, payments already made to the College will be treated as partial payment. Students will be notified of the additional amount due and the time and method of payment. Students who have not paid all fees and tuition by the time indicated will not be considered registered and will not be admitted to classes.
Please Note : For the purposes of determining tuition charges, a student is considered a resident of the State of New York if the student has a principal place of abode in the State of New York for a period of at least 12 consecutive months immediately preceding the first day of classes for the semester with respect to which the residency determination is made. Such a student must state an intention to live permanently and maintain a principal place of abode in New York State. Residence in a dormitory, hotel, or other temporary housing facility does not in itself establish New York State residency. The College may require appropriate documentation to verify residency status.

Tuition Refunds
Students who drop courses during the refund period (first three weeks of the semester) will automatically be processed for refunds based on the date of the transaction. The date on which the application is filed is considered to be the official date of the transaction. Non-attendance in classes does not waive the tuition liability incurred at registration. Students should allow approximately eight weeks for refund checks to be processed and mailed.

Administrative Cancellations
Students are entitled to full refunds in the event that courses or registrations are canceled by the College.
Outstanding Debts to the College
Students with outstanding debts to the College may not register for a succeeding semester until the debts are cleared. Personal checks in payment of delinquent accounts will not be accepted during the registration period. Transcripts and diplomas shall not be released with outstanding liabilities with the College.
Returned Check Policy
Checks returned unpaid to the College by a financial institution, no matter the amount or reason for the return, will automatically incur a $20 reprocessing fee in addition to the original obligation. The Bursar will attempt to notify the student or former student who submitted the returned check to provide information on making payment. Full payment must be made within two weeks of the date of the check being returned to the College. Failure to meet this deadline will result in an additional $15 Late Payment Service Fee and, in some cases, that account being turned over to the College’s collection attorneys for appropriate action. The Bursar will not accept checks in payment of tuition or fees-even if the student wishes to use someone else’s check-in cases where the student has previously given the College a check which has been returned by a bank. If the financial institution supplies a letter to the College admitting error on its part, the student will have his/her check writing privileges restored. A student who fails to pay tuition or other obligations will be denied access to his/her records and will be prevented from registering in the future.
