Estimate your costs

Students can determine an estimated cost to attend (COA) SUNY Adirondack using the SUNY Net Price Calculator (NPC). The NPC presents an estimated calculation of what a new student or transfer student can expect to pay to attend SUNY Adirondack. NOTE: While the NPC is a valuable tool, families should realize these are only estimated values and students will receive individual awards from the SUNY Adirondack Financial Aid Office. Please keep in mind that a student's out-of-pocket expenses may be less than estimated from NPC.
