Tuition, Fees, and Costs
The costs of attending college are both direct and indirect. Direct costs are tuition, fees, books—things that students pay directly to the college. Indirect costs are things like transportation, room & board, and childcare. Students may not pay the costs directly to the college, but they are costs associated with going to college. Indirect costs may vary based on individual circumstances.

Certificate of Residence

Once each academic year, a student is required by law to present a Certificate of Residence indicating that he or she has been a legal resident of New York State for one year and Jefferson County for six months prior to registration. Students admitted to or returning to the College will receive a Certificate of Residence card with their tuition bill. This card must be completed and returned before the student may attend class.
Other New York State Residents
Students admitted to the College will be mailed an Application for Certificate of Residence with their tuition bill. This application must be completed and returned to the County Treasurer of the county in which the student resided for the six-month period prior to registration. The County Treasurer will then issue a Certificate of Residence which must be returned to the College. This resident status must be certified each year. This Certificate must be completed and returned before the student may attend class.
