If you need to withdraw from all your classes, you must meet with a Counselor and
complete the withdrawal form by the last date to withdraw as published in the academic calendar. You can reach Counselors at the numbers below:
- North Campus: (716) 851-1488
City Campus: (716) 851-1188
South Campus: (716) 851-1653
Withdrawing from all your classes means you will have to re-apply when you are ready
to re-enroll.
Tuition and fees for each semester are due by the first day of classes. You must have been deferred by the Financial Aid office, be paid in full, or have enrolled in the Tuition Installment Plan (TIP) through Student Account Services by the first day of classes.
It is your responsibility to arrange payment even in instances of non-attendance,
unless your courses are officially dropped during the published add/drop dates. By
registering for classes, you acknowledge liability to SUNY Erie for tuition, fees,
and any required collection costs or legal fees as outlined in the tuition and fee
section of the college catalog. Failure to attend classes does not absolve you from
financial liability. In all cases, it is your responsibility to drop classes by the
due date or you will be held financially liable for your classes.
Apply to SUNY Erie by completing an online application. Once you have been accepted, you must register with the Registrar’s office and submit the Cross Registration form supplied by your home college. If you do not submit the cross-registration form at the time of registration, you will be billed for the course. If you drop below full-time status at your home institution, you will be responsible for tuition costs.
Restrictions:
- You may register for up to six (6) credit hours including lab.
- Class registration is based on the availability of space within the class.
- Any other class or classes that are registered for are your responsibility.
- You must prove permanent residency in New York State for 12 months and Erie County for the six months prior to the start of the semester; or provide an Out-of-County Certificate (hyperlink to Issuu) if your residency is out of Erie County, but in New York State. All residents living out of Erie County must supply a certificate of residence to Student Account Services by October 1 for the Fall semester or February 15 for the Spring semester to have the out-of-county charge waived.
Classes that the College offers off-site are not eligible for Cross Registration. Cross-registered students that register prior to the published dates will not be honored as cross-registered students and the tuition will not be deferred. All course-related fees in excess of tuition are the responsibility of the student.
