Graduate tuition for the 2007-2008 academic year is $835 per credit. There is a $30 application fee for students who apply with a paper application. There is no application fee for students who apply on line. Please note that in addition to these tuition charges, all students incur university fees based on their registered credit hours.
A crucial aspect of a college education is meeting its costs. At Long Island University we do everything we can to make a quality private education financially possible for you.
Applications for graduate student assistance are considered separately from, and as soon as possible after, the decision on acceptance for admission.
All students who wish to apply for financial aid must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Submission of the FAFSA and the Long Island University at Riverhead Application for Financial Aid represents the standard application procedure for most financial aid programs. Applicants must include the federal code for C.W.Post (002751). All students who are recipients of a Long Island University at Riverhead scholarship MUST file the FAFSA. If the FAFSA is not on file, students will not receive their scholarship.
Normally, notification of awards will be sent to applicants as soon as possible after the admissions decision is made, provided all required financial aid application materials and forms have been submitted. The applicant will then be required to reply to any offer of assistance within two weeks after notification.
All applications for scholarships described here can be obtained through the Admissions office or Financial Aid office. You must file the appropriate application(s) to be considered for any award(s).
