Tuition and Fees
Important Notice of Possible Changes: The City University of New York reserves the right, because of changing conditions, to make modifications of any nature in the academic programs and requirements of the University and its constituent colleges without advance notice.
Office of the Bursar
Academic Core Building, Room 1H01
email: Bursar@york.cuny.edu
webpage: https://www.york.cuny.edu/bursar
The Office of the Bursar is responsible for the collection of tuition and fees and manages financial transactions between students, the college, and the community. The Office adheres to departmental, college, university, state, and federal policies and procedures.
All tuition and other fees listed in this Graduate Bulletin, and in any registration material, issued by the college are subject to change. In the event of any increase in fees or tuition charges, payments already made to the college will be treated as partial payments, and notification will be given of the additional amount due and the time and method of payment. For more information, visit the Office of the Bursar webpage.
Application Fee
Students applying for graduate admission are required to pay a non-refundable fee in the amount of $75 payable to CUNY York College.
Commitment Deposit
All students admitted to masters and professional programs are required to pay a commitment deposit of $250. A student admitted to a graduate program may request a return of their commitment deposit by April 1 immediately prior to the beginning of the fall semester to which they committed to attending the graduate program. The graduate program shall return the commitment deposit to the student within 30 days of such a request.
Payment of Tuition and Fees
Students must be prepared to pay all tuition and fees associated with their registration by the payment due date. The Office of the Bursar will not mail bills. Students may view their bills on CUNYfirst. Once a student registers for classes, that student assumes financial responsibility. If the student chooses not to attend, the student must drop the courses before the first day of classes to avoid any tuition liability. Failure to do so automatically entails a financial obligation on part of the student.
Interest-free tuition payment plans are available through Nelnet during the summer, fall, and spring semesters. Students must enroll online through their CUNYfirst accounts. For additional information, Nelnet representatives are available Monday through Friday, 8:00a.m. to 10:00p.m., and Saturday 9:00a.m. to 3:00p.m., at 888-470-6014.
Students may opt to pay their tuition and fees online by using the CUNYfirst ePayment options that include eCheck and eSavings.
Cash, money orders, bank checks, certified checks, and personal checks are accepted at the Office of the Bursar service window. Checks and money orders must be made payable to York College and have a current date. Third-party, postdated checks, credit, and debit cards will not be accepted. Personal checks are not accepted for prior semesters. A student who issues a check or eCheck payment that is either returned by the bank or not processed by the processing company will be liable for tuition and fees, in addition to a $20.00 reprocessing fee. Also, checks will not be accepted for future payments and a negative service indicator will be placed on the student's account. A Stop payment on a check does not cancel the student's registration. A student must officially withdraw.
If students do not make full payment of their tuition and fees and other college bills, accounts will be turned over to a collection agency six months after the end of the semester. Students will be responsible for all collection costs, in addition to the amount owed to the college. Nonpayment of default judgment against the student's account may be reported to a credit bureau and reflected in his/her credit report. Accounts in collections must be paid directly to the collection agency; the Office of the Bursar cannot collect these debts.

Tuition and fees set forth in this publication are similarly subject to change by action of the Board of Trustees of The City University of New York at any time. In the event of any increase in the tuition or fees, payments already made will be treated as a partial payment. Notification will be given of the additional amount due and the required date of payment. The University regrets any inconvenience this may cause.
Occupational Therapy Dual Program - Combined BS/MS Program
Students in combined programs will pay undergraduate tuition rates up to 120 credits, or the number of credits required to earn a baccalaureate degree in that particular program. Any credits taken after that number (120) toward the combined degree are to be paid at the graduate level.
Students enrolled in the BS/MS degree Occupational Therapy program who have earned greater than 120 credits will be charged graduate tuition.

Explanation of Student Fees
Fee | Description |
|---|---|
Consolidated Fee | The Consolidated fee of $15.00 ensures the continuation, expansion, and establishment of critical university-wide services for all students. These services include but are not limited to the external processing of financial aid applications, the immunization program, the job location/ development program, system-wide tuition and fee collections by the Office of the University Controller, and the administration of various tests, such as the skills assessment tests. |
Developmental Course Fee | All courses taken by part-time students will be charged on a credit basis except developmental courses which will be charged on an equated hours basis. Courses with excess hours due to laboratory or field work will be charged on a credit basis for part-time students. The tuition charged part-time matriculated students on a per credit basis in any one semester may not exceed the semester rate. In developmental courses where the hours exceed the credits, the equated hours will be used instead of credits to determine full or part-time status and fees. |
Duplicate Diploma Fee | To obtain a duplicate diploma, the cost is $30.00. |
Duplicate Identification Card | To obtain a duplicate ID card, the cost is $10.00. |
Excess Hours Fee | Graduate students taking classes that have more contact hours than credit hours pay an excess contact hour charge. For example, if a 3-credit class meets 5 hours a week, a New York State resident student pays $65 per excess contact hour ($130 for 2 extra hours), and a non-New York state resident pays $85 per excess contact hour ($170 for 2 extra hours). |
Late Registration Fee | A charge of $25.00 is made for registration after the close of the official registration period. This fee is not refundable. |
Material Fee | Material fees support costs that are unique to a specific class which would be considered above and beyond the cost of instruction and basic instructional materials and equipment. Fees may be charged for materials used in laboratory, studio, and other situations. |
Non-payment Service/Late Payment Fee | Students who are delinquent in paying tuition and fees by the college's established due dates will be required to pay a $15.00 fee for each missed due date in addition to all other outstanding college obligations. |
Readmission Fee | Students who are readmitted to the University after an absence of three consecutive semesters (exclusive of summer session) shall be required to pay a readmission fee of $20.00. This fee is not refundable. |
Returned Check Processing Fee | When a student's check is tendered to the college as payment of a liability and the check is not honored by the bank upon which the check is drawn, the student shall be charged a reprocessing fee. A separate $20.00 fee will be charged for each check that requires reprocessing. Electronic payments, made online, that are rejected for any reason will also be charged a reprocessing fee. The student will be required to satisfy the obligations, the returned check processing fee and a non-payment service fee of $15.00 for each due date missed. If a check or eCheck (electronic payment) is returned for any reason, the student's check writing privileges will be revoked. |
Special Examination Fee | When a student requests an examination at a time other than the scheduled time, and permission is granted by the College, a Special Examination fee is charged at the rate of $25.00 for the first examination and $5.00 for each additional examination. |
Student Activity Fee | The Student Activity fee of $72.15 for full-time students and $52.15 for part-time students is assessed for student government and other student activities. |
Student Senate Fee | The Student Senate fee of $1.45 is a component of each college's student activity fee to be allocated by the University Student Senate. |
Technology Fee | The full-time technology fee of $125 or the part-time fee of $62.50 will be added to the bill. The technology fee for the summer session is $62.50. The technology fee is non-refundable. However, if the following occurs, a refund will be granted:
|
Transcript Fee | This fee will be waived for transcripts to units of CUNY. Transcript requests must be made online. For further information, visit the Office of the Registrar’s webpage at www.york.cuny.edu/registrar. |
Transportation Fee | Transportation fees include admission, entry, event, or participation costs for out-of-classroom experiences and related travel costs to off-campus events or experiences. |
Refund Policy
The date on which the change of program and/or the withdrawal is submitted to the College through Schedule Builder, CUNYfirst or the Registrar's Office is considered the withdrawal date, not the last date of attendance in class. It is the official date of the student's withdrawal and will serve as the basis for computing any refund granted to the student. No portion of the Association Fee, University Government Fee, Technology Fee, Consolidated Fee, Special Fees or Penalty Fees are refundable.
Refund Schedule
See the Academic Calendar on the College's website.
Upon registering for courses, students must pay by the payment due date. Students may change their registration online via their CUNYfirst or Schedule Builder. To receive a 100% refund of tuition and fees, students must drop all of their courses before the first official day of the semester.
Note: Students who take a leave of absence after the first day of classes are liable for tuition and fees in accordance with the above schedule of refunds. Federal and State guidelines for financial aid vary according to the specific type of aid the student is awarded. If a student is awarded financial aid and intends to change their enrollment status, they should contact the Financial Aid Office regarding their eligibility for financial aid funds.
Bursar Holds
Bursar holds will be placed on student accounts that have outstanding and past due debts. Such indicators will prohibit students from receiving services from the college, including but not limited to, registering for future semesters, until the entire obligation is satisfied.
Tuition Waivers
Tuition waivers may be changed or abolished by The City University Trustees without notice, and at all times are subject to budgetary limitations that have been established for The City University of New York.
