Our courses are exciting and popular.  Register early - avoid being closed out! Bulletins for Fall programs are available early August, and classes start in late September; Spring bulletins are available early January, and classes start early in March.  All the information from the printed Bulletin is included on this web site.  To receive the printed Bulletin, phone the CUE Office at 718-997-3635.

Recreational Swimming
Only CUE students currently enrolled in a CUE course are eligible to purchase a faculty / student recreation card, which will entitle them to use the pool whenever the recreation program is operating.  This does not apply to evenings or weekends.  Call the Queens College Recreation Office at 718-997-2777 for hours and fees.

Parking
Due to construction, parking on the campus is not permitted, except for Open House and Saturday classes.  However, parking is available in the Student Union Parking Garage for a moderate fee.  Public transportation is recommended (see below for details).

Program Changes
CUE reserves the right to cancel courses, to make substitutions in faculty, and to change the days, times, and locations of classes when necessary.  In this event, students may transfer to another course.

Classrooms
For your room assignments, please contact the CUE Office one week before classes begin.  Some classrooms are already listed in this Bulletin.

Refunds
For withdrawals before the first meeting of the course, 100% of tuition; before the second class meeting, 50% of tuition.  No refund will be granted after the second class meeting.  The CUE annual student fee is not refundable.
