As a result of the expanded three-term calendar that Provost Marshall shared in his June 26 email, the university has instituted a temporary
academic year-based maximum tuition rate for programs that are traditionally charged a full-time flat rate on a semester-by-semester basis. This means that in 2020-2021, students will be able to take a course load that fits their needs in fall, spring,
and summer semesters, including a full course load all three semesters, but not pay more than they would have in a traditional full-time fall/spring semester pathway.
Student bills will look normal in the fall 2020 and spring 2021 semesters. Students will receive an email in early March 2021 with the total yearly tuition charges they’ve been charged at that point in time to help inform their Summer 2021 plans. During
the summer 2021 semester, students will initially see charges for any classes they take that, in a regular year, would put them over the tuition maximum. This year, however, financial aid will be applied to offset these charges so that their bill
never exceeds the tuition maximum for their program. If you haven’t already done so, please review the Tuition and Fees webpage to review the tuition method and maximum
tuition, where applicable, for your program.
Please review this document that walks through examples of how this new tuition maximum works from a practical perspective. We hope it helps
clarify the new tuition maximum. If you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at [email protected] or 212.229.8930. You can now also reach us on Google Hangouts at [email protected] or, preferably,
