REFUNDS

Refunds Based Upon Withdrawal or Change In Registration: You may be entitled to a full or partial refund of tuition paid for a class. Refunds are based on the date on which you drop officially.  See the academic calendar for the deadline dates for dropping classes with a percentage refund.

If you do not notify the college of your intent to drop, your classes will appear on your transcript with whatever grades your instructors assign.  Additionally, you will owe the full amount of your bill and you may have to repay some or all of the financial aid you have received.

Review the College’s Refunding Schedule

Refunds Due To Financial Aid Entitlements: If the amount of financial aid you are receiving is greater than your tuition and fee charges, you may be eligible for a refund. You can verify this through your CUNYfirst account. Refunds will usually be made in two payments. The first payment may be issued right before the first week of classes to be used to pay for books and supplies. The second payment will be issued later during the semester.

Students are encouraged to sign up for direct deposit of their refund using their bank account information. On the Student Center page, you select the CUNY Direct Deposit icon and follow the steps. Refunds that are directly deposited are available to you immediately.  If you do not sign up for direct deposit, a check will be mailed to your home.
