* University Facilities Fee — Students are required to pay a University Facilities Fee depending on their registration. Full-time students are those registered for 12 or more points in all summer sessions. This fee is not assessed to undergraduate students who are charged the Student Life Fee, Graduate School of Arts and Sciences students who are registered for Matriculation and Facilities, American Language Program students, School of Continuing Education Summer Program for High School Students, or students in a course of study away from the University, where applicable.
Health Service Fee
Students who were enrolled in the Health Service Program during the spring term are automatically covered through the last day of summer sessions. All other students may elect to pay the Health Services Fee for summer coverage. For more information about the Health Service Program, please visit www.health.columbia.edu.
Special Regulations for the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences
Except for graduate students who have been admitted only for the M.A. degree, students registered in GSAS may not earn Residence Unit credit during the summer. However, when the graduate student's department certifies to the GSAS Financial Aid Office that the summer course is necessary for the M.Phil./Ph.D. degree, the tuition paid for the summer course may be deducted from the cost of the Residence Unit or Extended Residence in the immediately following fall semester. Please contact GSAS Financial Aid for conditions and restrictions related to summer tuition coverage.
Graduate students who wish to apply for this deduction should obtain an application from:
GSAS Financial Aid Office
107 Low Library
No deduction may be made from fall semester tuition charges of Half Residence Unit, Extended Residence, or Matriculation and Facilities.
Graduate Students in M.A. Programs
Students who have been admitted to the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences to pursue an M.A. degree only, and who (with the approval of their departments) are taking summer courses that satisfy M.A. degree requirements, will be charged a Quarter or Half Residence Unit or Extended Residence during the Summer Term.
If such graduate students take courses that are not required for the M.A. degree, they must pay the normal per-point tuition; the course will not count toward the Residence Unit obligation.
