Tuition and Fee Schedule
All fees and tuition charges listed in this announcement and in any registration material issued by The Graduate School are subject to change by action of the Board of Trustees of The City University of New York without prior notice.
In the event of any increase in the fees or tuition charges, payments already made to The Graduate School will be treated as a partial payment, and notification will be given of the additional amount due and the time and method of payment.
All payments are to be made to the Bursar. Make checks payable to CUNY Graduate School. Payment may also be made by credit card (Master Card/Visa) in person at the Bursar’s Office.
New York State Residency
For the purposes of determining tuition charges, a student is considered a resident of the State of New York if he or she has his or her principal place of abode in the State of New York for a period of at least twelve consecutive months immediately preceding the first day of classes for the semester with respect to which the residency determination is made, states his or her intention to live and maintain permanently his or her principal abode in New York State, and is not in the United States on a temporary visa. All students requesting change of residency must file a City University Residence Form at the Office of the Registrar with sufficient supporting documentation. The deadline for filing to be effective for the Fall 2006 semester is September 19, 2006.

PETITION FOR A CHANGE OF LEVEL:
Students are responsible for ascertaining that their tuition level has been properly established. Questions regarding a student’s level or residency for billing purposes should be brought to the attention of the Office of the Registrar and the Vice President for Student Affairs as soon as the student receives the bill, and not later than the end of the third week of the semester in question. Unless a written petition is filed with the Registrar by September 19, 2006, and the Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs is notified of the pending petition, no retroactive changes in level or residency can be made.
Movement to Level III tuition status results from Advancement to Candidacy. The “Advancement to Candidacy” form must be executed by the head of the student’s program and filed in the Registrar’s Office by September 19, 2006, for verification
