Add/Drop Fee
Any Courses may be added or dropped without penalty during the period so designated and announced by the Registrar. After that official add/drop period has ended, typically the Friday of the first week of classes, add/drop forms with required signatures must be turned in to the Registrar's Office. A $20 fee will be charged for each added course after the defined period has ended. Classes may not be dropped, only withdrawn from, after that designated Add/Drop period.
Audit Fee/Auditing Courses
Any interested person may audit a course with the signed consent of the instructor. Audit is permitted on a space-available basis, but may not include courses which have laboratory or studio activities. If an exception to this rule is made by an instructor, course, lab and/or technology fees may be assessed.
There is no tuition charge, however, a registration fee of $50.00 will be charged. This registration fee will not be assessed to course auditors who are already enrolled as students. By definition, auditors merely “sit in” on courses, are not officially enrolled or listed on course rosters.

Registration for audit courses must be completed during the add/drop period through the Registrar's Office. All documentation of audit courses will be maintained by the registrar.

A returned check charge of $20 will be assessed for dishonored checks returned by the bank. Returned checks used for completion of your semester bill may also result in an assessment of an administrative fee of up to $50.

All students who have not completed all financially-related obligations by the close of business on the semester due date will be charged a late registration fee of $40 and an administrative fee of up to $50.
Payment Plan Fee
The college offers their own Payment Plan. The Payment Plan requires application and a $50 nonrefundable application fee.
Late Payment Plan Fee
Once a payment plan is established and payment is late by more than 15 days, a late payment fee of $50 is assessed and the payment plan is terminated, the balance is then due in full.
Billing Fee
If the College submits a debt for further collection to our collection agency or to the New York State Attorney General’s Office, a billing fee of up to $50 is added to the debt already due and the new total is submitted for collection.
Textbook Costs
Textbook costs depend on the requirements of the student’s particular program and the availability of used books. In general, the range is between $750 and $950 per year for textbooks and supplies.
