Common Issues
- Tuition and fees are determined by the the City University of New York (CUNY) Board of Trustees and are subject to change without notice at any time. In the event of a tuition and fee increase, payments already made will be treated as a partial payment. Notification will be given to students concerning the additional amount owed and the deadline to pay.
- Hunter College is not responsible for students whose registration is canceled for non-payment because they did not receive their notification. Payments are due on the due date and have nothing to do with whether or not Hunter mailed a notification.
- Spring accounts contain winter session charges.
- If you plan to take 9 credits in the Fall term and 3 credits in the Winter term, flat rates are not applicable.
- Charges for summer sessions I & II are included on the same account; students in these semesters are always considered part-time.
- If you plan NOT to attend Hunter and you have any kind of aid/awards on your CUNYfirst account, you must drop your class(es) prior to the first official day of classes to avoid incurring a tuition liability.
- If you officially withdraw from your classes, you still have a 100% tuition and fee liability. Only withdrawing prior to the end of the third week of classes enables a partial refund of tuition.
- Students who wish to audit a class for no credit must still pay the regular tuition rates except for students who are registered and classified as Senior Citizen Auditors.
- If you are classified as a non-resident and you believe that your status is incorrect, new students should contact the Office of Admissions, Room 203 North or (212) 772-4490 and continuing students should contact the Office of the Registrar, Room 217 North, or call (212) 772-4474.
- All concerns regarding incorrect billing rates/charges should be resolved prior to the bill due date.
