CONTINUING EDUCATION FEES AND PAYMENT

• Continuing Education Changes, Withdrawals, and Refunds
• Continuing Education Registration Fees
• Reduced Rates for Older Adults

CHANGES, WITHDRAWALS, AND REFUNDS
Additions (added courses) to your continuing education program may be made by telephone, fax, mail, online, or in person.

Program changes (drop/adds) may be made via the Web, in person, or by fax.

Withdrawals: Students who wish to withdraw from, or for any reason find it impossible to complete a continuing education course should officially withdraw. Requests to withdraw (drops only) from continuing education courses can be made at any time via the My Account section; by mail, Office of Student Enrollment Services, NYU School of Continuing and Professional Studies, P.O. Box 1206, Stuyvesant Station, New York, NY 10009-9988; by e-mail, scps.drop.course@nyu.edu; by fax, (212) 995-3060; or in person, 145 Fourth Avenue, 2nd Floor.

Merely ceasing to attend a class does not constitute official withdrawal, nor does notification to the instructor. Cancellation of payment does not constitute withdrawal, nor does it reduce indebtedness to the university; in this case, a penalty of $25 for late payment and $10 for stop-payment (subject to change without notice) must be charged. Students of any other NYU school must withdraw from SCPS courses through SCPS.

Refund Policy:  Refunds are computed based on the date and time the written or electronic notice of withdrawal is received by the Office of Student Enrollment Services. In addition, refunds for non-degree courses and seminars are based on the number of class sessions for the course that have met between the time of registration and withdrawal.

Withdrawal does not necessarily entitle a student to a refund—nor to a cancellation of tuition still due.

The refund schedule is as follows.

For continuing education courses (X numbers) and seminars (R--.7999 and below):

1. Prior to the first session—100% refund.
2. Student withdraws after one or two sessions of a course with six or more sessions—75% refund. No refund thereafter.
3. Student withdraws after one or two sessions of a four- to five-session course—60% refund. No refund thereafter.
4. Student withdraws after more than two sessions of a four-session course—no refund.
5. Student has attended any session of a one- to three-session course—no refund.

For seminars and conferences (designated as R--.8000 and above or beginning with SCPS): Procedures and policies for refunds vary by department.

For online courses: Refunds for online courses are calculated differently from on-site courses. Students are eligible for a 100 percent tuition refund if they withdraw from the course before the official start date. Students are eligible for a 60 percent tuition refund if they withdraw from the course before having logged into the course four times or within the first two weeks of the course. After the fourth login, or the second week, students are not eligible to receive any tuition refund for courses taken through SCPS.

REGISTRATION FEES

For continuing education courses (designated with an X number), the registration fee is either $10 or $20, depending on the total cost of the course or courses for which you apply. If the total of your tuition is $99 or less, your registration fee is $10. If the total of your tuition is $100 or more, the fee is $20. The maximum $20 registration fee is payable only once each semester, no matter how many times you add courses. Registration fees are nonrefundable.

For conferences and seminars (designated with an R number), the cost for registration services is included in the tuition.

Note: This fee schedule does not apply to the programs requiring Credit Registration

REDUCED RATES FOR OLDER ADULTS

SCPS offers many courses to older adults at reduced rates. If you are 65 or older, you may enroll in continuing education courses for half the fee indicated in these pages (except where otherwise indicated).

Reduced rates are not automatically applied. At the time of registration, the applicant must request the senior citizen discount. The Older Adult discount is not offered through the Web. Students requesting the Older Adult discount cannot make their initial registration for the term using the Web, and they may not use the Web to make a change of program. Reduced rates are not retroactively applied upon completion of the registration process.

Proof of age (such as a Medicare card, driver’s license, or passport) is required at in-person registration, and a copy of proof of age must be sent to the Office of  Student Enrollment Services if you are registering by telephone, fax, or mail. The reduced rate may not be used in conjunction with any other offer, and the highest discount prevails.

The senior citizen discount does not apply to conferences and seminars that begin with an R or SCPS designation, credit courses that begin with a Y or Z designation, or computer-lab based instruction.

Call the Office of Student Enrollment Services at (212) 998-7171 for more information.

Note: NYU-SCPS’s Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI), a membership program for mature adults offers free lectures, courses at a reduced rate created specifically for members, and other benefits. OLLI membership is available in the fall and spring semesters. The Older Adult discount does not apply to OLLI courses because they are specially priced.
