Q: If I decided to go to another CUNY school after paying the fee, will I have to pay again at the other college?
A: Yes, the fee will not be refunded if you decide to enroll at another CUNY school or if you decide to attend a non-CUNY college.
Q: Will I be able to use the fee for the next semester if I cannot attend for the upcoming semester?
A: Yes, if you reactivate your application, your deposit will be held for the following semester and credited to your tuition bill; however if you cannot attend the following semester, you will lose the deposit.
Q: If I cannot afford to pay the deposit, can I submit an appeal?
A: Yes, but you must demonstrate hardship in your appeal and file an application for financial aid before submitting the appeal. A decision will be made based on your financial aid Estimated Family Contribution (EFC) code. Appeals must be submitted as soon as possible to:

A: Yes, it can be waived but you must present documentation of your discharge to the Admissions office before the deadline date.
Q: Do I have to pay the deposit if I am accepted into the College Discovery (CD) program?

Q: Will I be able to use my financial aid to pay the deposit?
A: No, financial aid cannot be use to pay the deposit.
Q: What if I do not pay my deposit by May1?
A. It is important that you make every effort to pay this fee before May 1 so that you are given an earlier date for advisement and registration. Classes fill up quickly and you want to receive the a schedule of the right classes at the right times. Those who pay after May 1 will be given a later date for advisement and registration, and may therefore find that many key classes and times are no longer available. Please feel free to contact the Admissions Office at admissions@qcc.cuny.edu.
