Paying for your Education

The following information is provided to help you prepare to pay for your tuition, fees and living expenses, including residence hall charges and meal plans, while you are a student at SUNY New Paltz. You will receive a final bill after you have registered, but an estimate of your expenses is available from Student Accounts. Specific questions may be directed to Office of Student Accounts at (845) 257-3150 or by Fax: (845) 257-3495. You may also find helpful information on the Student Accounts website.

Payment in full is due on or before the first day of classes. You have several payment options:
 

Cash or Travelers Check

Travelers Checks are recommended.
 

Personal Check

Must be in US$ drawn on a bank with a United States branch.
 

Credit Card 

If you choose this method, keep in mind that some credit cards have per-day or per-week limits on the amount you may charge. If your credit card limits you to $1,000 per day and you must pay a total of $4,000 you may need to come to the Office of Student Accounts four times to pay your total bill.
 

Time Payment Plan

This program allows you to spread out your payments over the course of the semester. Additional information is available from the Office of Student Accounts.
 

International Wire Transfer

This may be completed before you arrive on Campus. You will need to contact your bank in your home country to request specific information about fees and procedures for transferring money to the United States. Once you have contacted your bank, notify the Office of Student Accounts that you will be sending a wire transfer and request the Routing Number and Swift Code. You may contact them by telephone at (845) 257-3150 or by e-mail at stuacct@newpaltz.edu
 

Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT)

Students may arrange to make electronic payment via Flywire through my.newpaltz.edu. The student initiates the transfer, and Flywire converts the currency to US dollars and transmits the payment to the College. The student’s account is automatically credited when the funds are received. Please be aware that additional costs such as currency exchange rates and credit card service fees may be incurred for international transactions. Total costs are displayed when selecting your payment method in Flywire. Please contact the Office of Student Accounts if you have any questions about your invoice before making payment.

If you have specific questions, please contact the Office of Student Accounts at (845) 257-3150.
