    Graduate (Master Degree) students, who are not enrolled in any graduate courses or any undergraduate courses which are part of their graduate program and wish to maintain matriculation, are required to pay a maintenance of matriculation fee. This fee should be paid during the semester of absence. Maintenance of matriculation fees are not required for summer session unless the students are obtaining their degrees in that session. Students on maintenance of matriculation should not be charged student activity fees. Students must be either registered or on maintenance of matriculation in the semester they obtain their degree. The maintenance of matriculation fee cannot be waived. Maintenance of matriculation students do not pay the Consolidated Service Fee.
    
    

17. CUNY Fees and Refunds for Accelerated Study:                              
    This fee applies to all undergraduate degree students registered for credits beyond the established college limits of 18 credits per semester, or with the approval of the President, the semester in which a student will graduate according to the college's official transcript record. In those cases involving presidential approval for graduating students, the college must establish a formal waiver process and disseminate the information to students. For purposes of this fee, remedial courses, are not to be included in the total number of excess credits. If students are eligible for the last semester free, they must pay the Accelerated Study Fee unless they have received presidential approval waiving such fee.

This fee does not apply to non-degree students who pay on a per credit basis regardless of the number of credits for which they register. This non-instructional fee will be applied uniformly to resident and non-resident students. The following schedule applies to this fee: 

This fee applies to regular semester only. Study during intersession, summer session, or modules under non-traditional calendars other than spring and fall are not subject to this fee. In as much as this is a fee and not tuition, TAP financial aid does not apply. This fee, however, may be included in the cost of education to determine a student's Pell award. 

Students who are charged this fee will be entitled to a refund of this fee based
upon the following schedule: 

Students may pay their tuition and fees with the following: Cash, money order, bank check, traveler's check, or personal check: Students paying by check should make the check payable to Lehman college. The College will not accept second party checks. The College will not accept a personal check from any student who has previously tendered a check that was returned by his/her bank. NOTE: Lehman College does not accept credit cards for the payment of tuition and fees.

If a graduate student drops his/her only course or all courses during the refund period on his/her own volition, the student activity fee is non-refundable, and he/she has two choices:

1. If he/she wishes to continue in graduate study, he/she receives the appropriate percentage of tuition refund, less the difference, if any, between the maintenance of matriculation fee and the total student tuition liability. Thus, the student pays at a minimum the maintenance of matriculation fee. He/she may then return to college the following semester. 
   
   

2. If he/she does not wish to continue in graduate study, he/she receives the 
   appropriate percentage of tuition refund. If at a later date he/she wishes to return to college, the college's readmission process is followed, and he/she must pay the readmission fee.
   
   

3. If a graduate student withdraws after the refund period, but during the withdrawal period, no maintenance of matriculation fee is required in as much as a student receives a " W" grade. 
   
   If a graduate student's required course is canceled by the college and no approved alternative is available to the student, the student should received a full refund of tuition and student activity fee. Such student should not be required to pay the maintenance of matriculation fee for that semester or the readmission fee in the following semester. 

Effective Fall 2000, CUNY will be following the new Federal regulations on the return of Title IV funds. Federal Pro-Rata refunds will no longer be applicable for first-time and continuing students. The College will calculate how much Title IV aid has been earned by the student based upon period of attendance. The unearned portion of the Title IV funds  must be returned to the Department of Education by the college and the student. 

** Subject to change **

The Hardship Deferral Program for full-time/part-time, resident/non-resident, undergraduate/ graduate students is as follows: 

• A student must meet with a financial aid counselor to determine his/her eligibility for a Hardship Deferment. The Office of Financial Aid awards Hardship Deferments. Please contact the Office of Financial Aid for details.
  
  

• No tuition deferment for any student shall be granted for a total tuition liability of less than the community college undergraduate resident part-time tuition rate per credit multiplied by six (6) credits. 
  
  

• Under no circumstances can student activity fees be deferred. 
  
  

• An initial payment determined by the college is required for the student to be considered registered. 
  
  

• A student not paying full tuition at registration and being granted a hardship deferral, must sign the Hardship Deferral Promissory Note on the Bursar's Fee Form for the remainder of the tuition liability. 
  
  

• The terms and conditions of the Note will include the following: 
  
  a) A second payment of at least 50% of the remaining liability (deferred
  amount) is due 30 days after the first day of the semester or session. 
  
  b) The third and final payment (of the remaining balance) is due 60 days
  after the first day of the semester or session. 

Note:  exact due dates are printed on the Hardship Deferral Promissory Note on the Bursar's Fee Form. 

• If a student defaults, on either of the two due dates (second payment or third and final payment) he/she will be charged for a Late Payment fee ($15.00) for each of the missed due dates. In addition, if a student defaults on the third and final payment, he/she will no longer be eligible for a Hardship Deferment at Lehman College, and his/her account may be referred to the University's collection agencies and all applicable penalty fees will also be included. Finally, if the student defaults on the third and final payment, a hold will be placed on his/her permanent records, barring him/her from future registration and the student remains liable for the balance due.
   

• If you do not make full payment on your tuition and fees and other college bills and your account is sent to a collection agency, you will be responsible for all collection costs, including agency fees, attorney fees and court costs, in addition to whatever amounts you owe the college.
  In addition, non-payment or a default judgment against your account may be reported to a credit bureau and reflected in your credit report.
