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.

A New York State resident student is one who has had his/her  principal abode in the State of New York for a period of at least 12 consecutive months immediately preceding the first day of classes of the semester for which the residency determination is made. Such  student must also state his/her intention to live permanently and maintain his/her principal abode in the State of New York. The Office of Admissions may require appropriate documentation to prove residency.

TUITION REFUNDS

Formal application for a refund must be made to the Office of the Registrar. The date on which the application is filed is considered to be the official date of withdrawal. Nonattendance 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.

Resignations

In the case of resignation from a course or courses during the semester, the following rate schedule applies:

Resignation filed with the Office of the Registrar
  before the first day of classes ..........................100 percent reduction in tuition liability

Resignation filed within the first week of classes........75 percent  reduction in tuition liability

Resignation filed within the second week of classes......50 percent  reduction in tuition liability

Resignation filed within the third week of classes..........25 percent reduction in tuition liability

Resignation filed after the third week of classes................no reduction  in tuition liability

The Summer Session refund schedule is listed in the Summer Session Bulletin.

Administrative Cancellations

Students are entitled to full refunds in the event that courses are withdrawn or registration is canceled by the College.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. (Any registration that takes place at this time will be canceled by the Office of the Registrar.)

Returned Check Policy

Checks returned unpaid to the College by a bank, no matter the amount or reason for return, will automatically incur a $15.00 reprocessing fee in addition to the original obligation. Notification will be sent to the student who submitted the check that full payment must be made within two weeks of the date of the notice. Failure to meet this deadline will result in the imposition of an additional $15.00 Late Payment Service Fee and that account being turned over to the College's collection attorneys for appropriate action. No further checks will be accepted by the Bursar in payment of tuition or fees even if the student or former student wishes to use someone else's check.

If the bank 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 a tuition or other obligation will be denied access to his/her records and will be prevented from registering in the future.

Transcript of Academic Records

Graduates of the College should indicate the degree and date of graduation.

In accordance with the general practice of colleges and universities, the College sends official transcripts of records directly to an institution or agency; only unofficial transcripts are issued to students. No transcripts will be issued for students with outstanding financial obligations to the College. Additionally, transcript requests initiated by individuals other than the student will not be honored. Payment of a fee of $7 per copy is required for each transcript. There is no charge for transcripts sent to colleges within The City University system.
