Tuition and Fees*
This cost of attendance component is based on full-time attendance with the tuition rate established by New York State. Please see our Eligibility webpage for details on full-time credit hour requirements. Fees include those mandatory fees charged of all students. Tuition charges billed to the student will be based on actual enrollment.
Books and Supplies
In order to develop a reasonable estimate of the cost to each student for books and supplies, each spring the Financial Aid Office selects several class schedules and determines the cost of books for each student. The Financial Aid Office uses these figures to determine an average cost.
Living Expenses*
The amounts listed here for the in-state and out-of-state cost of attendance reflect the cost of a single room and the Unlimited meal plan for students living in college provided housing or an allowance for rent, utilities and food for students living off-campus. Students living in college provided housing will be billed each semester for their housing and food (meal plan). Students living off-campus will make payments to their landlord in accordance with the provision of their lease.
Transportation
Includes gas expenses for an on-campus student for trips home when school is not in session or gas expenses for a student commuting to campus.
