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. 

Payment of Tuition and Fees

Students must pay all tuition and fees by the payment due date. The Office of the Bursar does not send bills; instead, check your bill on CUNYfirst. By registering for classes, you take on financial responsibility. If you decide not to attend, drop your courses before the first day of classes to avoid charges. Missing this deadline will result in a financial obligation.

Interest-free tuition payment plans are available through Nelnet for the summer, fall, and spring semesters. Enroll online via your CUNYfirst account. For more information, contact Nelnet representatives Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., and Saturday, 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., at 888-470-6014.

Students have the option to pay their tuition and fees online through the CUNYfirst ePayment system, which includes eCheck and eSavings options. For in-person payments, cash, money orders, bank checks, certified checks, and personal checks are accepted at the Office of the Bursar. Please ensure that all checks and money orders are made payable to York College and are dated accordingly. Note that third-party checks, postdated checks, credit cards, and debit cards will not be accepted. Additionally, personal checks are not accepted for payment of prior semesters. If a student submits a check or eCheck payment that is returned by the bank or not processed properly, they will be responsible for the tuition and fees owed, plus a $20.00 reprocessing fee. Checks will not be accepted for future payments, and a negative service indicator will be placed on the student's account. It is important to note that placing a stop payment on a check does not cancel a student’s registration; students must officially withdraw from classes if they wish to do so.

If students do not pay their tuition, fees, and other college bills in full, their accounts may be turned over to a collection agency six months after the semester ends. Students will be responsible for all collection costs in addition to the amount owed to the college. A default judgment for nonpayment may also be reported to a credit bureau and reflected on the student's credit report. Any accounts sent to collections must be settled directly with the collection agency; the Office of the Bursar will not handle these debts.

For billing and payment information, visit the Office of the Bursar's website at www.york.cuny.edu/bursar.

Tuition and fees described in this publication are subject to change at any time by action of the Board of Trustees of The City University of New York. If there is an increase in tuition or fees, any payments already made will be considered partial payments. The University will notify students about the additional amount due and the required payment date. The University regrets any inconvenience this may cause.

Occupational Therapy Dual Program - Combined BS/MS Program

  • Students enrolled in combined programs will pay undergraduate tuition rates for up to 120 credits, or the number of credits necessary to earn a baccalaureate degree in their specific program. Any credits taken beyond this limit (120) toward the combined degree will be charged at the graduate level.

  • Students in the BS/MS degree program in Occupational Therapy who have earned more than 120 credits will be required to pay graduate tuition. Those identified as undergraduates during the registration process will be charged graduate tuition retroactively if, after completing their current courses, they exceed 120 credits.

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. This fee is refundable if a student officially withdraws before the start of the semester/session

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.

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. This fee is refundable if a student officially withdraws before the start of the semester/session

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. This fee is refundable if a student officially withdraws before the official start of the semester/session.

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. This fee is refundable if a student officially withdraws before the official start of the semester/session.

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:

  • The college cancels a course or courses causing the student to drop below full-time

  • The student is incorrectly billed by the college

  • The student officially withdraws prior to the first day of the semester/session

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. This fee is refundable if a student officially withdraws before the official start of the semester/session.

Refund Policy

The date on which a change of program or withdrawal is submitted to the College through Schedule Builder, CUNYfirst, or the Registrar's Office will be considered the official withdrawal date. This date, rather than the last date of attendance in class, will be used to calculate any refunds granted to the student. Please note that no portion of the Association Fee, University Government Fee, Technology Fee, Consolidated Fee, Special Fees, or Penalty Fees is refundable.

Refund Schedule

See Academic Calendar

Students must pay their tuition and fees by the payment due date when registering for courses. They can change their registration online using CUNYfirst or Schedule Builder. To receive a full refund (100%) of tuition and fees, students must drop all their courses before the first official day of the semester.

It is important to note that students who take a leave of absence after the first day of classes are responsible for paying tuition and fees according to the Refund Schedule. Additionally, federal and state financial aid guidelines differ depending on the specific type of aid awarded to students. If a student receives financial aid and plans to change their enrollment status, they should contact the Financial Aid Office to understand their eligibility for financial aid funds.

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.

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.
