* Tuition and fee increases for academic year 2012-2013 were reviewed and approved by the FIT Board of Trustees in June, 2012. In addition, a Program fee of $1,250 per semester fee for all students studying in the FIT in Italy programs, approved by the Board of Trustees in June of 2011, will be fully implemented for both New York State resident students and all non-resident students for 2012-2013.
ACADEMIC FIELD TRIPS
The Academic Field Trip fee covers major transportation, stay
in 2 or 3 star hotels, and museum and trade show entrance fees. Local and
regional field trips for the same purposes are also arranged.
Because the academic field experience booking requires that guaranteed reservations are made well in advance of the actual date of the trip, the students' accounts will be charged in time for the advance payments to be made for travel and hotel reservations.
