In-State Tuition Eligibility: If you receive a letter requesting that you provide proof of New York State residency, immigration status and/or citizenship status, please bring the appropriate documentation to the Admissions Office. If we do not receive this information before you register, you will be billed the out-of-state tuition rate of $415 per credit. The Undergraduate Tuition and Fees Schedule is available here.
