College Fees

* Like tuition, Program Service Charge fees are "capped" at 12 hours during the fall and spring semesters. However, no such "capping" occurs during the summer session; students pay tuition and fees for every credit hour taken, even if they enroll in more than 12 credit hours.

College Fee

The College Fee is $25 per year or $12.50 per semester (fall/spring) for full-time students. The fee is required under administrative policy of State University of New York and is not refundable. College fee for summer and winter sessions (and part-time students) is $.85 per credit hour.

Program Service Charge

The College Program Service Charge is required of all students enrolled in credit-bearing coursework and is designed to incorporate various normally required fees and charges. It is acknowledged that all students will not equally participate in each of the component fees but will receive equivalent overall benefit from the universally available services enhancing the campus life experience.  Equitable distribution of costs across student populations helps keep our offerings rich and varied while keeping the level of fees low in comparison to benefits provided. Certain special and remote site programs are exempt from some fees.

Other Important Facts:

On-campus courses are not eligible for waivers of the Program Service Charge. However, field placements (internships, student teaching, etc.) greater than 100 miles from campus may apply for a waiver of the Student Health Services Fee component only. All such waiver requests must be made in writing to the Student Accounts Office and received by Oct. 1 for fall semesters, March 1 for spring semesters, and June 1 for summer sessions.
