Application Fee

A $75 application fee is required of all applicants. Applications submitted without the fee cannot be processed.  You can pay your application fee via credit card online when you are ready to submit your online application form or you can mail a check or money order to the Bursar’s Office.  Please make checks or money orders payable to Hunter College. If a check is written for you by someone else, be sure your name appears on the face of the check. Those currently attending Hunter as graduate non-degree students who are applying for degree status need not pay this fee. As the application fee is devoted to the administrative cost of processing all applications, it is not refundable under any circumstances, regardless of the outcome, the date of filing, the time of review and final decision, or, if for whatever reason, the application is withdrawn.
