Most courses require additional expenses for lab fees, textbooks, supplies, and museum admissions. Some undergraduate courses require supplemental fees (please see catalog). Supplemental Fees are used to support costs unique to individual courses including, but not limited to, the continuing need for modernization for instructional purposes, upgrades to instructional resources and curricular content, and adequate support to ensure the effective daily operation of the instructional studios and classrooms, both physical and virtual.

Each graduate student will be provided with a computer at their desk, the cost of which is included in tuition.

NYSID reserves the right to alter the tuition and fee schedule. Accepted students who choose to attend NYSID must pay a nonrefundable tuition deposit to secure their place in the program. All fees and tuition deposits are nonrefundable.

Health insurance is not covered by financial aid. If however, a student has any loan refund due after aid is applied to tuition and fees, they may officially notify the Bursar’s Office in writing at bursaroffice@nysid.edu to deduct the cost from the refund and apply it to the health insurance fee prior to disbursement of the refund.

DELIQUENT ACCOUNTS:

If a delinquent account is referred to a collection agency the student agrees to reimburse the College the fees of any collection agency, which may be based on a percentage at a maximum of 50% of the debt, and all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, the school incurs in such collection efforts.

The College offers a variety of financial aid programs, and Tuition Management Systems offer a plan under which students may arrange to finance tuition with monthly payments on a per-semester basis for a nominal fee.

Expenses

Typical expenses in addition to tuition and fees for the academic year (9 months) are estimated as follows based on full-time enrollment (12 or more credits).
