Tuition, Fees & 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.

Tuition and fees are due and payable at the time of registration and may be paid by Master Card, VISA, Discover, AMS Tuition Pay*, cash, or money order.

A student who officially withdraws from all courses before the end of the ninth week of classes will earn Title IV funds in direct proportion to the length of time he or she is enrolled. Unearned Title IV funds must be returned to the federal government or the lender. This may result in an unpaid financial obligation for the student.
Certificate of ResidenceResidents of Jefferson County
A student is required by law to present once each academic year 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.
