Estimated Cost of Attendance for 2024/25 Academic Year

All students taking a course at IENYC will be required to pay tuition and other fees in respect of each course undertaken. Scholarships are available which may be applied to a student’s fee as detailed in the College Financial Assistance section of the IENYC Catalog which is available on the IENYC website.

Tuition and fees are reviewed annually and are subject to change.

The tuition rate for Trimester A 2024 is $1,052 per credit (amounting to $37,904 for the entire 36-credit program). The following breakdown of the cost of attendance for Trimester A 2024 is based on part-time enrollment of 6 credits per trimester, and full-time enrollment of 9 credits per trimester.

Tuition refunds are determined and made on a course-by-course basis. They are based on a percentage of fees due up until the census date (28th day of term). In order to qualify for a refund, the student must provide official notice of withdrawal from the College or dropping of a course to their Academic Advisor and receive approval from the Vice President & Provost during regular College business hours.

Refunds are based on the following schedule:

I.   By 5pm on the Friday prior to the first class meeting         100%
II.  By 5pm on the Friday of the first week of classes                 75%
III. By 5pm on the Friday of the second week of classes           50%
IV. By 5pm on the Friday of the third week of classes               25%
V.  Thereafter                                                                                      0%

Unauthorized absence in any course will not relieve the student of the financial obligation and no refund will be due. Students who suspend their studies or are suspended by the College remain liable to pay any fees due up to the point of suspension.

In all instances (including exceptional circumstances) where a student is due to be refunded these must first be reviewed and authorized by the Vice President & Provost of the College.

Federal Title IV regulations governing the administration of the federal student financial assistance require schools to establish a reasonable satisfactory academic progress (SAP) policy for determining whether an otherwise eligible student is making satisfactory progress in his or her educational program, and may receive assistance under the Title IV, HEA programs.

The satisfactory academic progress policy has three component parts, qualitative (GPA), quantitative (% of completion), and maximum timeframe.

Qualitative: The Cumulative GPA requirement for graduate programs at GCNYC is 3.0.

Quantitative: Students must complete at least 50% of all courses attempted every trimester of enrollment.

Maximum Timeframe: A student cannot receive Title IV, HEA funds at GCNYC if current enrollment may exceed or the student has already exceeded the maximum timeframe of the length of the program of study as defined by the College. The College defines maximum timeframe as 150% of the program, or 54 trimester credit hours. A student exceeding the maximum timeframe has the right to appeal the denial of the federal student aid.

An SAP evaluation for federal Title IV, HEA program purposes will be completed at the end of every spring trimester. Students not meeting the published SAP policy may no longer be eligible to receive the federal student financial assistance unless the student completes the appeals process, and the appeal is approved.

Financial Aid Probation: A student who did not meet the published SAP policy requirements at the end of spring trimester, must file an appeal, and have the appeal approved to continue receiving federal student financial aid assistance. The student is placed on Financial Aid Probation upon approval of his or her appeal. The probation period is for term only. A student may be placed on an Academic Plan as part of the appeal process. Such academic plan must ensure that the student meets the SAP policy in a short amount of time.

Financial Aid Suspension: A student who was placed on Financial Aid Probation as a result of the appeal process, and who did not meet the terms of the approval, and also did not meet the published SAP policy will be placed on Financial Aid Suspension. The student will no longer be eligible to receive the federal student financial assistance at the College. To regain eligibility and reinstatement, the student must pay for own College costs, meet the published SAP requirements, then re-appeal for reinstatement. Maximum Timeframe: A student who has exceeded the maximum timeframe or will exceed the maximum timeframe with current enrollment will no longer be eligible to receive the federal student financial aid assistance. The student must appeal and state the reason why he or she failed to complete the program by the allowable maximum timeframe period. The appeal must be approved for the student to continue receiving federal student financial assistance.

A complaint may be defined as ‘an expression of dissatisfaction by one or more individuals about the standard of service, action or lack of action by or on behalf of the Institution.’ A complaint may relate to:

• the quality and standard of service
• failure to provide a service
• the quality of facilities or learning resources
• treatment by or attitude of a staff member, student or contractor
• inappropriate behavior by a staff member, student or contractor
• the failure of the College to follow an appropriate administrative process
• dissatisfaction with the College’s policies (although it should be recognized that policy is set at the discretion of the College)

The Complaints Handling Procedure (CHP) reflects IE New York College’s (IENYC or ‘the College’) commitment to valuing complaints.  Students, recent students, applicants and members of the public should feel free to raise matters of concern without risk of disadvantage.  Our aim is to resolve issues of dissatisfaction as close to the initial point of contact as possible and to conduct thorough and fair investigations of complaints so that, where appropriate, we can make evidence-based decisions on the facts of each individual case.  The Policy can be viewed in the IENYC Catalog (Section 16 , p age 71.)
