Swapping courses between classes in different sub sessions will result in tuition percentage liability charges.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Students who drop\/swap or withdraw from a previously swapped class are liable for a percentage charge based on the liability schedule. For example:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You registered for ART 100<\/li>\n<li>You swapped ART100 for ART 201\u00a0(on\/after the first day of the term) during the percentage liability period<\/li>\n<li>You dropped or withdrew from ART 201 or swapped ART 201 for ART 202 (on\/after the first day of the term) during the percentage liability period<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Result: You are now responsible for a percentage charge for ART 100 and ART 201.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Multiple class changes may result in several tuition liability charges\u200b.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_accordion_item][\/et_pb_accordion][dsm_text_divider header=&#8221;REFUND FAQ\u2019s&#8221; text_alignment=&#8221;left&#8221; color=&#8221;#E71939&#8243; divider_position=&#8221;flex-end&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_font=&#8221;Open Sans|600|||||||&#8221; header_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; header_font_size=&#8221;25px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/dsm_text_divider][et_pb_accordion open_toggle_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; open_toggle_background_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; closed_toggle_background_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; icon_color=&#8221;#E71939&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; toggle_text_color=&#8221;#E71939&#8243; toggle_font=&#8221;Open Sans|600|||||||&#8221; toggle_font_size=&#8221;18px&#8221; body_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; body_font_size=&#8221;16px&#8221; border_color_all=&#8221;#000000&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_accordion_item title=&#8221;What methods are available for students to receive refunds?&#8221; open=&#8221;on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>CUNY offers one electronic payment method, direct deposit, for students to receive refunds.
