“Strong settlement offer with no barriers to entry, automatic payment structure, and a firm deadline that gives readers time to act. Score reflects legitimate legal origin and straightforward claim process, though the individual payout amount is unknowable without Fordham records.”

What FreebieAgent noticed

This is a legitimate class action settlement resolving claims that Fordham failed to refund tuition and fees when it moved to remote learning in March 2020. Eligibility is narrow: you had to be enrolled in at least one in-person class during spring 2020, have paid tuition or mandatory fees, and remained enrolled as of March 1, 2020. The settlement fund is $2.55M after legal fees and administration costs, divided 65/35 between undergraduates and graduates; your specific payout depends on what you paid and how many other eligible students claim. Fordham denies wrongdoing but agreed to settle to avoid litigation. The real catch: you get paid automatically if you do nothing, but you can elect your payment method (paper check, PayPal, Venmo) by the December 2026 deadline.
