State University of New York at Plattsburgh

What is the cost of studying for a year at State University of New York at Plattsburgh?

For 2024-25, published full-time undergraduate tuition was $7,070 for New York residents and $16,980 for nonresidents, before required fees. Fees were listed at $1,965 for each group. These are published charges, not a student-specific bill after aid.

• New York resident undergraduate tuition and required fees: about $9,035 for the academic year.
• Nonresident undergraduate tuition and required fees: about $19,024 for the academic year.
• Reported annual room and board: about $18,080; books and supplies: about $930.

Adding the listed room, board, and book estimates produces a partial annual budget of about $28,045 for a resident or $37,955 for a nonresident. Neither figure includes every possible expense, such as transportation, personal costs, or program-specific charges. Living arrangements and enrollment intensity can change the calculation; graduate and part-time rates also differ.

Financial aid is relevant to the amount a student ultimately pays. Reported aid measures indicate that 93% of students in the applicable reporting group received financial aid and 57% received student loans; loans must generally be repaid. Eligible students may seek federal grants and loans through the FAFSA, New York State aid such as TAP through the state's application process, and institutional scholarships. Veteran and military education benefits may also apply to eligible students. Income-group net-price figures from federal reporting are averages after grant and scholarship aid, not individualized quotes. Applicants should compare their own aid offer with a complete cost-of-attendance budget and check the current year's charges before making a deposit.

What are the work-study opportunities at State University of New York at Plattsburgh?

SUNY Plattsburgh students can seek part-time work and career support, but Federal Work-Study, an ordinary student job, and an internship serve different purposes. Federal Work-Study is need-based aid: eligible students must receive an award through the financial-aid process and then obtain a qualifying job. An award is not wages paid automatically or a guarantee of a position.

Students may also look for campus jobs outside Work-Study, subject to openings and employer requirements. An internship may provide academic credit or career experience but should not be assumed to be paid. The college's career services include individual career planning, résumé and interview assistance, job-search resources, employer events, and networking opportunities. These services can help students pursue work; they are not verified employment outcomes. Students should check the financial-aid office for Work-Study eligibility and campus employment listings for current openings.
