Tuition and Fees:
Fall 2011 through Spring 2012

Last updated Sept. 13, 2011

Credit tuition and/or fees are subject to increase, pending SUNY approval. Summer Session 2012 information will be posted by early March 2012.

NONCREDIT TUITION and FEES
Noncredit tuition rates are the same for New York State and out-of-state residents. In addition to tuition, a $25 nonrefundable noncredit registration fee (per student) is paid once per semester, at the time of registration.

If you register only for noncredit courses, you are not required to pay certain fees (e.g., College, ID card, technology, transcript), but you are responsible for any associated lab fees and for parking costs. While you are not required to purchase a student ID (More Card), we encourage you to do so. Having it will give you access to the Library, Neuberger Museum of Art, and selected events on campus that are free or discounted for students.

CREDIT TUITION and FEES

In the fall and spring semesters, the following applies to nonmatriculated students only. (Liberal Studies and other Purchase College matriculated students: Please refer to Student Financial Services information.)

  • Credit tuition rates, established by the SUNY Board of Trustees, are higher for out-of-state residents.
