Academic Year Financial Information

The International Student Financial Statement – The State University of New York (PDF) is required prior to any review of your application. U.S. Government regulations require that any prospective student must possess the minimum financial resources in order to be admitted to a U.S. college or university. Read the instructions carefully of this required two-page form.

Part II of the International Student Financial Statement asks for the U.S. dollar amounts for your first year of study. Each source of funds indicated must be verified by documentation and signatures as indicated in the required verification column.

Minimum Estimated Expenses for One Term of Part-time Study (F-3)

Costs represent an estimate of one 15-week term that would apply to a border commuter student. All dollar amounts are in U.S. dollars.

The State University of New York requires that any student who has entered the United States for study or research have health insurance. Please review the insurance requirements with the ISSC. If a student has their own insurance policy it should be equal to the SUNY insurance plan and it must include a repatriation benefit.

Cost estimates are considered the minimum amounts necessary and are subject to change. Empire State University cannot take responsibility for any changes in the indicated figures.

For the current tuition and fees, refer to the out-of-state undergraduate tuition and graduate tuition tables.

The estimated total for tuition and fees, books and supplies, and the SUNY mandatory health insurance with repatriation benefit is $4,000.00 for six to eight credits of part-time undergraduate study or for five credits of part-time graduate study.
