CUNY York College

What is the cost of studying for a year at CUNY York College?

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition was $6,930 for New York residents and $14,880 for nonresidents. Adding the reported $428 in required fees brings those tuition-and-fee amounts to $7,358 and $15,308, respectively. Residency status therefore has a substantial effect on the published price.

• 2025-26 resident undergraduate tuition and required fees: $7,358.
• 2025-26 nonresident undergraduate tuition and required fees: $19,027.
• Reported books and supplies estimate: $1,500.

Neither tuition figure is a complete annual budget. Students also need to allow for housing, food, transportation and personal expenses. A reported room-and-board amount of $23,022 should be treated as a living-cost estimate, not a charge for a York residence hall: the college does not offer college-operated undergraduate housing. Part-time students face per-credit tuition, and graduate tuition is set separately.

Financial aid can make the amount paid lower than the published cost. In the 2024-25 figures, 84% of students received some form of financial aid, while 6% had student loans. The average reported net price for students from families earning $0-$48,000 was $4,161; net price reflects aid and applies to a defined group, not every student in that income range. Eligible students may consider federal grants, New York State TAP, CUNY scholarships and other assistance by completing the required aid applications. A personal aid offer and a current-year cost-of-attendance estimate are more useful for budgeting than adding together figures reported for different students.

What are the work-study opportunities at CUNY York College?

Eligible York College students may pursue Federal Work-Study, a need-based financial-aid program that pays students for approved part-time work. A Work-Study award is not money automatically credited in full to a tuition bill: students generally must secure an eligible position and earn wages by working.

Work-Study eligibility is determined through the financial-aid process, including the FAFSA, and depends on available funding. Students can also look for regular campus jobs, which are not necessarily restricted to Work-Study recipients, and for internships connected to their field. The college's career services include résumé assistance, interview preparation, job fairs and alumni networking opportunities. Those services support a job search but should not be mistaken for a job-placement guarantee. Students should confirm whether a prospective role is paid employment, academic credit or both before accepting it.
