Tuition and Fees

Tuition and fees are payable as specified below. Checks and money orders should be drawn to the order of New York Institute of Technology for the exact amount of the tuition and fee payment. College privileges are not available to the student until registration is completed and tuition and fees are paid.

The university offers eligible students a multi-payment plan for tuition and fees. Details on payment plans may be obtained at the Office of the Bursar or at nyit.edu/bursar.

The tuition and fee information below applies primarily to full-time undergraduate students in New York. Tuition and fees for special programs, graduate students, and students at New York Institute of Technology's global campuses can be found in the catalogs, brochures, and websites describing those programs.

New York Institute of Technology expressly reserves the right, whenever it deems it advisable in its sole discretion, to (1) change or modify its schedule of tuition and fees, and (2) withdraw, cancel, reschedule, modify, or alter the method of delivery of, any course, program of study or degree, or any requirement in connection with any of the foregoing. For more information, please contact the Office of the Bursar at 516.686.7510.

The university will not be responsible for any costs or damages—including tuition or fee refunds—for any failure or delay of performance resulting from a force majeure/act of god or any other condition beyond its reasonable control. Force majeure events include but are not limited to fire, flood, natural disasters, epidemics, and government action.

Collection Agency Fees

If your account is not paid, it may be forwarded to an outside collection agency or attorney. At that time, you will be responsible for paying New York Institute of Technology all fees and costs associated with the collection of your delinquent account. In addition to payment of the principal amount due, the additional fees and costs may include collection agency fees constituting 33 to 50 percent of the principal amount due if the university engages a collection agency to collect payment, legal fees of 33.3 percent of the principal amount due if the university engages legal counsel to collect payment, any and all interest on the outstanding balance at the maximum legal rate allowed by law, and any and all other costs associated with collection of the amount due.

Withdrawal/Dismissal Tuition Adjustment/Refund Policy

When a student withdraws from the college or from a course, they must complete a Withdrawal/Clearance form available at nyit.edu/registrar or in person at New York Tech Enrollment Services Center. Tuition liability is based on the date of withdrawal determined and recorded on the withdrawal form. Requests for a refund or adjustment/reduction of indebtedness received more than 12 months from the first scheduled day of the semester or term in question will be denied. All fees are nonrefundable.

Ceasing attendance to classes, informing the instructor of withdrawal, disputing a credit card charge, or stopping payment on a check does not constitute an official withdrawal and does not relieve the student of their financial obligation.

In the case of complete withdrawal (including administrative) or dismissal from the college, students who were awarded federal Title IV financial aid will be subject to proration on the awards in accordance with applicable federal regulations. The application of federal refund provisions may result in an outstanding balance owed to the college and/or the U.S. Department of Education. Details of the adjustment to federal Title IV financial aid awards will be provided to the student following the withdrawal process.

In the event of a full withdrawal or dismissal, the tuition liability is calculated, excluding all fees (except for the college fee if the withdrawal or dismissal occurs before the first scheduled day of the semester, cycle, or course, as appropriate) and room deposits as follows:

Fall, Spring, and Summer III Courses:

1. Withdrawal or dismissal at any time from the date of the student's registration to the day before the first scheduled day of the semester: 100 percent adjustment on the tuition and the college fee.
2. Withdrawal or dismissal at any time during the first six days of the semester: 75 percent adjustment of tuition only.
3. Withdrawal or dismissal at any time between the seventh and thirteenth day of the semester: 50 percent adjustment of tuition only.
4. Withdrawal or dismissal at any time between the fourteenth and twentieth day of the semester: 25 percent adjustment of tuition only.
5. Withdrawal or dismissal at any time after the twentieth day of the semester: no adjustment.

Summer I and II Courses, and Cycle Courses (A, B, C, D):

1. Withdrawal or dismissal at any time from the date of the student's registration to the day before the first scheduled day of the course: 100 percent adjustment of the tuition and the college fee.
2. Withdrawal or dismissal at any time between the first and thirteenth day of the course: 50 percent adjustment of tuition only.
3. Withdrawal or dismissal at any time after the thirteenth day of the course: no adjustment.

Intersession Courses:

• Withdrawal or dismissal at any time effective the first day of the term: no adjustment.

If you receive federal financial aid, refund/adjustment amounts are subject to federal guidelines and may be returned to the federal government and not to you.

All refunds and deposits will first be applied to debt and balances you owe to New York Tech.

No diplomas will be released to any student who owes tuition, fees, or fines, including parking and library fines, to the university at the time of the request. Upon payment of any outstanding indebtedness to New York Institute of Technology, diplomas will be released.

Tuition Refund Insurance Plan for Medical and Mental Health Withdrawals

Tuition is computed on the assumption that a student will remain throughout the academic year. Since a place in class has been reserved, tuition will only be refunded in accordance with the Withdrawal/Dismissal Tuition Adjustment/Refund Policy.

A student who suffers a serious illness or accident and needs to withdraw from New York Institute of Technology prior to the completion of the term may encounter certain problems. In many instances, withdrawal from classes not only means the loss of time invested in studies, but also significant financial loss.

New York Tech's Tuition Refund Plan,** offered by A.W.G. Dewar, Inc., is an elective insurance plan that provides coverage for tuition and mandatory fees as well as university housing (room and board) costs if a medical or mental health withdrawal occurs. This plan will help to minimize a student's financial portion of this loss.

While the New York Tech provides partial refunds for withdrawals, these refunds are limited and effective only when the student withdraws early in a term. The Tuition Refund Plan significantly extends and enhances the published withdrawal policy. If a student withdraws because of injury/sickness or mental health reasons, the Tuition Refund Plan returns 100 percent or 75 percent of the insured term tuition/fees and university housing costs and meal plans where applicable less any refund or credit due you from the college, when plan conditions are followed (this coverage does not apply if the student drops classes without completely withdrawing).

Students are automatically enrolled in this insurance when they register for classes for fall, spring, or summer terms. Students who are enrolled at New York Tech and wish to opt out of this plan must log in to the Student Service HUB and choose Resources, where you will find AWG Dewar's Tuition Waiver link. Complete the required fields on the waiver form and submit. The Office of the Bursar will be sent a notification to process your request.

** The Tuition Refund Plan is a voluntary form of insurance, and includes an administrative fee retained by New York Institute of Technology. Insurance is only available for the New York campuses.
