Attention CUNY and SUNY undocumented students :

Although you may not qualify for financial aid, you and your family can pay for your college education through a monthly tuition payment plan called Tuition Pay (homepage).   

 

Essentially you pay a small enrollment fee        ( less than $100) and then pay your tuition in four or three payments during the semester. More Information

*Be sure to use your 9-digit CUNY or SUNY student identification number as your identifying number ( usually a social security number) with the payment plan. *
