THE COST OF YOUR EDUCATION INCLUDES MORE THAN TUITION 

 

The cost of your education, whether it is at CUNY or any other college, includes more 
than tuition. When we calculate your eligibility for financial aid, we assign you a "Cost of 
Attendance Budget." This budget includes costs of books, supplies, transportation and 
miscellaneous personal expenses. Below are the estimated nine month budgets for 
variable costs (including tuition and fees) for full time, NY State resident undergraduate* 
students living with parents and students living away from parents. 

 

*Full time graduate students use $10,450 for Tuition. For specific tuition rates and fees,
