CREDIT TUITION and FEES

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

In Summer Session, the following applies to all students.

• Credit tuition rates, established by the SUNY Board of Trustees, are higher for out-of-state residents.
• Students in the U.S. on temporary visas (e.g., F-1 or J-1) are considered out-of-state students for credit tuition purposes.
• For residents of Fairfield County, CT, the reduced part-time tuition rate is $209 per credit for nonmatriculated students. No more than 30 credits taken at this rate may be applied toward a degree program at Purchase College.

Fees shown below for Fall 2008 and Spring 2009 were approved by SUNY on June 17, 2008. The lab fees listed in course descriptions are subject to increase as of Fall 2008, pending SUNY approval.

Summer Session students, please note:

1. According to NY State policy, all students must pay for summer session courses on a per-credit basis. There are no special rates for 12 or more credits. Please refer to the Course Load policy for the maximum allowable credits that can be taken without overload approval.
2. If a student registers for credit courses in more than one Summer 2008 session, the $5 health fee, $15 student ID fee, and $5 transcript fee are only paid once.
3. Purchase College matriculated students who have a valid 2007–08 More Card do not pay the $15 student ID fee in Summer Session 2008. If this applies, subtract $15 from the total shown in the Summer Session charts for New York State residents and out-of-state residents.

ALL STUDENTS, PLEASE NOTE:

1. If you will be parking on campus: The vehicle registration fee is in addition to the fees listed on the following schedules and is paid separately after you register.
2. Remember to add lab fees, when applicable, to the fees listed in the following schedules.

LAB FEES, which are subject to approval by the SUNY Board of Trustees, are assessed for extraordinary costs associated with a particular course. Lab fees must be added to the payments for credit and noncredit courses when applicable, and are nonrefundable after the add/drop period. (Lab fees are listed in the course description when applicable.) The listed lab fees are subject to increase as of Fall 2008, pending SUNY approval. To verify or check on the status of Fall 2008 lab fees, call Student Accounts at (914) 251-6080.

NONCREDIT TUITION RATES are the same for New York State and out-of-state residents. Noncredit tuition includes a $5 nonrefundable registration fee, per noncredit course. (This fee is not applicable to the Summer Youth Programs, Summer Jazz Institute, and Summer Visual Arts Institute, which have nonrefundable tuition deposits.)
     If you register only for noncredit courses, you are not required to pay certain fees (e.g., College, ID, 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.
