Tuition Costs

SEMESTER TUITION CHARGES

Each time a student registers or makes an adjustment to his/her schedule, the semester tuition and fee bill is calculated and recalculated based on the following charts:

Note:

• All Winter session tuition rates are per-credit.
• All Summer session tuition rates are per-credit.
• There are no maximum tuition charges during the Winter or Summer sessions.
• All visiting students are billed at the non-degree tuition rate.
• The estimated yearly (not including Summer) cost of tuition and mandatory fees for an in-state, UG degree student is $7,537.70.
• The estimated yearly (not including Summer) cost of tuition and mandatory fees for an in-state, graduate degree student is $11.611.70.
• Please note that course/program-related fees (Material/Transportation, Academic Excellence, Infrastructure Fee, etc.) and penalty fees (Late Registration, Change of Program, etc.) are separate and not included in the estimated yearly cost.
• The fee for senior citizen auditors (New York State residents age 60 and older) is $65 plus the $15 CUNY Consolidated Services Fee per term. Senior citizens who take courses for undergraduate credit must pay the applicable tuition and fee rates set for undergraduate students. Senior citizen auditors are not permitted to register tuition free for graduate level courses.
• Contact hours (not credits) of remedial, compensatory and developmental courses are considered for determination of tuition. For example, a course with 2 credits and 5 hours may be billed tuition for 5 hours X the respective per-credit tuition rate. Please check with the department in which the course is being offered to determine which courses are charged by contact hours assigned to the course.
• Students who drop/swap or withdraw from a previously swapped class are liable for a percentage charge based on the liabiity schedule. Multiple Class Changes may result in several tuition liability charges. For additional information on these charges, review the FAQ page​.

Once registered, students are responsible for mandatory student fees including the Activity Fee, Consolidated Service Fee, Senate Fee and Technology Fee. These fees are calculated based on the following charts:

​Fall & Winter/Spring Semester Fees

Note:

– Students registered in the Winter session will be responsible for mandatory student fees.
– Students registered in both the Spring semester and Winter session will be charged only one set of student fees based on the total combined number of credits in which they are enrolled.
