Tuition Payment/Student Accounts

Welcome to the Student Business Office

Elston 517

The Student Business Office is located in Elston Hall, Room 517. For general information, please call (518) 381-1346.

The Student Business Office processes student tuition, fees and parking fines. Each semester all students, including those receiving financial aid, are required to process their tuition bill with the Student Business Office. The tuition bill may also include insurance fees, activity fees, and any lab fees. In addition, payments such as transcript fees and graduation fees are paid in the Student Business Office.

Certificate of Residence Requirement
Students registering for credit courses at SCCC are required to document their county of residence since counties partially fund student enrollment at community colleges in New York State. In order to qualify for resident tuition, you must have resided in New York State for the past twelve months, and you are required to provide county residence documentation for the last six months. The Student Business Office, Elston 517, is responsible for collecting the Certificate of Residence from students. For instructions and a copy of the Application for Certificate of Residence, Form B-80, go to the Certificate of Residence Web page.
