If a student previously took courses and received grades from the School of Labor and Urban Studies but has not been in attendance for one or more semesters, the student is required to submit a Request for Readmission. There is a one-time fee of $20 that will be added to your tuition bill at the time of registration.

Students (or other requestor) ordering transcripts through third parties will be responsible for paying all third-party fees and charges directly to the third party, or as otherwise required by CUNY.
Late Payment ($15)
Students who are delinquent in paying tuition and fees will be required to pay this fee in addition to all outstanding bills to regain the privileges of good fiscal standing with the College which include the right to attend classes and access to one’s student records. If the student is required to pay a readmission fee, the nonpayment service fee shall be in addition, if appropriate.
Change of Program ($18)
Students are required to pay a fee each time they make certain program changes, on or after the first official day of classes based upon the official CUNY calendar. The fee(s) charged will cover one or more program changes made at the same time. Examples of changes incurring a fee: addition of a course or courses; changing from one course to another course; changing from one section of a course to another section of the same course. This fee is not applicable to college-initiated changes.

Laptop Replacement ($1,025)
Laptop loans returned damaged will be charged to repair or replace the device, not exceeding $1,000.00. Additionally, laptop loans not returned within 10-business days of the due date will be charged the overdue penalty ($25.00) plus the total cost of the laptop ($1,000.00), totaling $1,025.00.
Returned Check ($20)
Returned checks, paper or electronic, result in a $20 fee (per occurrence and regardless of reason). The student will no longer be permitted to pay by personal check, physical or electronic. Other accepted methods include money order, teller check, credit card (online) or payment plan (online). The student is required to settle their entire bill, including the returned check fee, before the official first day of classes. Accounts in a past-due status must be settled immediately to avoid Bursar holds and/or late fees.
Late Registration ($25)
Registration on or after the first official day of classes may incur a $25 fee.
