Design Degrees Online

It is extremely affordable to study at CCNY. Tuition & fees vary according to the student’s classification as a continuing student, a new student, a matriculated student* or a non-degree student, and whether or not the student is a resident of New York State. (*Matriculated students are those recognized by the college as working towards a degree.)

Tuition is set by the University Board of Trustees and is subject to change without notice by their actions. Students should arrange to pay their total tuition, fees and charges to complete their registration if they wish to be admitted to classes. Students who may be eligible for financial assistance or grants should consult with the Financial Aid Office as early as possible.

Tuition Refunds
When courses are withdrawn by the College, a full refund of appropriate tuition and fees will be made. In other cases, tuition refunds will be made or liability reduced only in accordance with Board of Trustees regulations. Further information can be obtained from the Office of the Registrar. On approved applications, proportionate refunds of tuition will be made in accordance with the schedule below. The date on which the application is filed, not the last date of attendance, is considered the official date of the student’s withdrawal and serves as the basis for computing any refund.
