Undergraduate students who take graduate courses as nondegree students and who receive graduate credit for those courses must pay the applicable graduate tuition. No undergraduate student is required to pay more than the maximum tuition (at applicable residency or degree rates), regardless of the mix of undergraduate and graduate courses taken, as long as graduate courses are used toward the undergraduate degree. If the courses are used toward a graduate degree, the student must be rebilled at the graduate tuition rate. Credit for an undergraduate or graduate course may be applied toward either an undergraduate degree or a graduate degree but not toward both.

Tuition Waiver for Employees of the City University of New York

Full-time members of the instructional staff and fulltime Gittleson employees may be exempted from the payment of tuition for up to 6 credits in graduate courses each term.

Information and applications for tuition waivers may be obtained in the personnel office of the CUNY unit in which the staff member is employed. Employees must meet standards and requirements of the College and be accepted by the Division of Graduate Studies.
