Noncredit Course Payment

Payment for Continuing Education (noncredit) courses is due upon registration, as follows:

• By check: Made payable to SUNY Adirondack. Students may pay in person at the Office of Continuing Education at the north end of Adirondack Hall on the Queensbury campus. Students may also mail the payment stub, located at the bottom of the Student Schedule and Bill, with a check, to the Office of Continuing Education.
• By cash or credit card: Students must register for the applicable course(s) through Continuing Education before using these payment methods. Cash or credit card payments can be made at the Student Accounts cashier window in Warren Hall or at SUNY Adirondack Saratoga (call 518-584-3959 to check availability), with a copy of the Student Schedule and Bill. Credit card payments can also be made at the Office of Continuing Education or online using e-cashier. A $1 nonrefundable NELNET Enrollment Fee will be assessed for each e-cashier payment. Full payments are deducted immediately from the account provided on the NELNET agreement.
• Third party/employer-paid tuition: Please mail or fax a letter to the Office of Continuing Education on company letterhead authorizing SUNY Adirondack to bill the company. This letter must be included with the registration material.

Requests for drop/withdrawal and/or refunds for all Continuing Education courses (including all open enrollment, youth enrichment, international education and online Ed2go) must be submitted by a student, a student’s significant other, a student’s legal guardian, or an employer who has provided us with a letter of intent for registration and payment for an individual. Requests must be made by phone, fax, email or in person before the class starts.

Please note:

• No refunds will be granted for non-attendance. If a student has not withdrawn from a course, they are liable for the course and material fees even if they choose not to attend.
• Unless otherwise indicated, participants who withdraw less than two weeks before a course begins will still be liable for any materials fees, and no refunds for materials fees will be issued after that time.

In addition:

• All drop/withdrawal and refund requests must be received during regular business hours: 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding College holidays and closures. Requests submitted after the office has closed for the day will not be processed until the following business day.
• Students will receive confirmation of a drop/withdrawal and/or refund or remaining liability via mail. If a student has not received a confirmation via email, the drop request has not been received and processed.
• All refunds will take the form of a check, made out to the student, and make take up to 21 business days to be processed.
• Course registrations may not be transferred to another person. If a student is unable to attend a class, they may not send someone else in their stead.
• When materials and/or textbooks are distributed for a course, regardless of course length, students are liable for cost of those materials even if they withdraw from the course.
• Some courses have published registration and refund cutoff dates to ensure purchase of textbooks and/or course materials.
• Summer youth courses, Ed2go courses, international education trips and Paralegal Certificate courses have their own withdrawal and student liability policies.
• Payment is due at the time of registration. Non-payment may result in balance being turned over to a collection agency. All collection fees, including reasonable attorney fees, will be the responsibility of the student.
• Requests for special consideration for refund and/or bill adjustments can be made by filling out the Non-Credit Request for Refund/Bill Adjustment form.
• Students are not liable for any class and materials fees for any classes cancelled by the Office of Continuing Education and will be refunded for fees paid.
