Our Best Answer: Will I get a refund if I drop or withdraw from a class?

Refund Schedule

When you drop classes, you may have a tuition liability depending on the date you dropped. You may receive a full or partial refund if you drop by the priority drop dates. See the Refund Period calendar below.

If you officially withdraw from a course after the refund period, you owe 100% of the tuition of the classes plus fees. You will not be entitled to a refund. If the amount you've paid is less than the tuition (and/or tuition obligation) plus fees, you are responsible to pay the balance to the college. Please check your account balance in your CUNYfirst account.

Refunds are processed automatically by CUNY on a weekly basis. Your refund check will be mailed to your address in CUNYfirst. Please make sure your address is up-to-date by checking your CUNYfirst account.
