Tuition Rates and Fees
The Office of the Bursar provides monthly e-billing statements to each student, twelve times per year. Fall tuition expenses are billed in July, and spring tuition expenses are billed in January. To prevent enrollment holds and finance charges, tuition and fees are due by the billing due date.
Below is the table of 2026-2027 academic-year tuitions and student activity fee rates. Various other departmental expenses, other than tuition, may include housing, and dining, fraternities and sororities, transportation, fitness centers, student health benefits, Cornell Health and Cornell Information Technologies (CIT) services.
